Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent Chocolate Almond Bread Pudding.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). This is the perfect temperature to create a warm, inviting atmosphere for your bread pudding. Next, take a 9x13-inch baking dish and pour the melted butter over the bread cubes. Toss them gently to ensure every piece is coated in that rich, buttery goodness. If you're feeling indulgent, stir in the dark chocolate chips and sliced almonds, adding a delightful crunch and a hint of sweetness to the mix.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, almond extract, and nutmeg. This fragrant mixture will be the custard that brings your bread pudding to life. Once combined, pour this luscious egg mixture over the bread cubes, using a spatula to lightly press the bread down. This helps the bread absorb all that delicious custard, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor.
Step 3
Now, it's time to bake! Place your baking dish in the preheated oven and let it work its magic for about 45 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the top springs back lightly when pressed. The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible, and your guests will be eagerly awaiting a taste of this decadent dessert.
