It’s etter if you say “puddin’.” This is a decadent, rich dessert with no redeeming health qualities, which is why I throw some raspberries on it to make myself feel less guilty in the morning. Named for my aunt, GG, who made it for me during a bad case of the post-partum blues.
Take a loaf of French bread and slice it into 1/4 inch pieces. Dry in the oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes (or until nice and toasted—it will feel like stale bread). Place into a 9 by 13 baking dish.
Mix the remaining bread pudding ingredients in a bowl and transfer into a double boiler. Cook over low to medium heat until chocolate is melted, whisking regularly.
Pour the mixture over the bread in a baking dish. Place the dish into a water bath and bake at 275 degrees (yes, 275 degrees) for 1 hour, covered with foil. Remove the foil after 1 hour and then bake for an additional 15 minutes.
While the pudding bakes, make the sauce. Melt the chocolate and cream in a double boiler over low to medium heat, whisking regularly. Drizzle over the bread pudding as you serve it.
Seriously. You need the raspberries for morale.

THANK YOU!!!! I’ve been looking for this recipe for years – I lost mine and haven’t been able to re-create it. I make mine with stale croissants. It is to die for and yes it does cure postpartum depression as well as every other bad thing in the world!!!
