-
whisk together
- 2 cups whole milk or 2 cups 2% low-fat milk

- 1⁄2 teaspoon table salt
-
pour the egg mixture over
- 13 slices Texas toast thick bread, which has first been (thick egg bread)
-
White chocolate cream
- 4 ounces white chocolate, chopped (only use white chocolate that has cocoa butter in it. That's what gives the chocolate it's flavor)
- 2⁄3 cup heavy cream (I used whipping cream)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons Amaretto
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- fresh raspberry
directions
- Preheat oven to 350*, coat a 9" springform pan with 1 tablespoons softened unsalted butter.
- Melt chocolate chips with the sugar and butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir frequently until chips are smooth, about 8 minutes.
- Whisk milk, eggs,vanilla, espresso, and salt together and pour over *staled bread cubes. Toss well so the bread absorbs most of the liquid and begins to lose it's shape.
- Fold the melted chocolate into the bread mixture, then transfer to the prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour, or until the center springs back when gently pressed. Cool on a rack for 15 min., remove the sides of the pan and slice.
-
Serve with topping:
- Melt the chocolate with the cream and sugar in a saucepan over low heat until smooth, stirring constantly, about 8 minute.
- Combine amaretto and cornstarch to make a slurry, then stir it into the chocolate mixture. Increase heat to medium and bring to a boil for 1 minute, or until thickened slightly. Transfer to a bowl; cool to room temperature.
- To serve, spoon sauce over wedges of warm bread pudding and garnish with raspberries.
- *To stale your bread, lay the slices out on cookie sheets, turning every half hour until they begin to feel dry. Then cut them into 1" cubes,.
- It is a very rich recipe, and I don't know how many servings you will get out of yours.

I would like to welcome you to my recipes. I have been with Food.com since 10/05.
My beloved husband, Tom, passed away 3 years ago. My world stopped. It's taken me all this time to find my way back to life without him.
I have been so blessed to have found my second, once in a lifetime. I've met an amazing man who is so good to me.
We moved from Las Vegas, Nevada to Bullhead City, Az. in February, and we love it here.
I have worked at Bally's and Paris hotel.casinos, in Las Vegas. I have seen some very famous entertainers, including Liza Minnelli, Penn and Teller, Ray Liotta, Dr. J (Julius Erving), Frank Sinatra and his wife Barbara Marx. and many, many more.
Cooking is my passion, and I am slowly, but surely beginning to venture into the world of baking. To me, cooking is so much easier because baking is so much more exact.
I love to make Italian and Mexican food the best, followed by Chinese and last, but by far the least, good old American food! How can you beat chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy?? I love to find several recipes and put my own spin on them and create a new recipe.
