Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking perfection.

2. Prepare Egg-Cream Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until they are well combined and form a smooth mixture.

3. Add Flavor: To the egg-cream mixture, add the brown sugar, cinnamon, dark rum, salt, cocoa powder, and finely chopped bittersweet chocolate. Continue whisking until all the ingredients are fully incorporated, and the mixture becomes rich and aromatic.

4. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 2-quart baking dish generously with butter to prevent sticking. Spread the cubed bread evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

5. Combine Bread and Mixture: Pour the prepared egg-cream mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring that all the bread is well soaked. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes, allowing the bread to absorb the flavors.

6. Create Water Bath: Place the filled baking dish inside a larger baking pan to create a water bath. Carefully pour boiling water into the larger pan, ensuring that the water reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish. This gentle steam bath will help ensure a creamy texture for your bread pudding.

7. Bake to Perfection: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the pudding is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown and slightly crispy, while the center remains soft and gooey.

8. Serve and Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, remove the bread pudding from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with a dollop of freshly whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence. Serve warm and watch as your guests delight in every delicious bite.
