Martian Landscape?
Nope, it’s a chocolate bread pudding I made for dessert a few days ago. I first made this recipe while Jeremy was away at school, and though I am not a fan of soggy bread, I actually really liked it. Well, we had a partial loaf of honey wheat sandwich bread going stale in the fridge, so I took the opportunity to use it up in another bread pudding.
The recipe I’ve used on both occasions can be found here. As mentioned, I used some rather stale honey wheat sandwich bread, cut into cubes of probably around 3/4″. Rather than straight whipping cream, I used what I had on hand, which was about 1/2 cup of whipping cream and 1 1/2 cups of whole milk, and it came out perfectly.
I especially like the crisp sugar topping on this bread pudding, and the fact that it tastes equally good hot from the oven or cold from the fridge. A dollop of whipped cream is a nice garnish, but not strictly necessary.
