Heavenly Chocolate Bread Pudding

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

On a baking sheet, spread out all of your bread and toast in the oven for 5 minutes.

In a small saucepan over medium high heat, combine milk and chocolate chips and mix until chocolate is melted. Turn off the heat and add the sugar, cocoa powder, Kahlua and vanilla extract as you whisk after each addition.

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Slowly pour the chocolate mixture in the eggs as you continue to stir until everything is combined. Add in your toasted bread and stir the mixture with a spoon to make sure all of the bread is evenly coated.

Pour into 4 pre-greased ramekins or custard cups and bake in a water bath (at 350ºF) for 40 minutes. Let cool for about 5 minutes before you serve. Top with vanilla sauce or ice cream if desired.
