If you're feeling truly decadent, top this rich treat with maple syrup, caramel sauce or whipped cream. Indulge!
INGREDIENTS
- 4 cups 1/2-inch bread cubes (use challah or white bread, crusts removed)
- 1/3 cup dried unsweetened cherries
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1 Tbsp. light brown sugar
- 3 cups Silk Unsweetened, Original, Light Original, Vanilla, Light Vanilla or DHA Omega-3 & Calcium
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Place 3 cups of the bread cubes in a greased 8-inch square or 9-inch round baking dish. Tuck the cherries in between the bread pieces and sprinkle with the chocolate chips. Top with remaining bread cubes.
Whisk the eggs with the Silk, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl. Pour the liquid over the bread and let sit for 15-20 minutes. Press down on the bread a few times to wet the tops of the cubes.
Scatter the pecans evenly over the pudding and sprinkle with the light brown sugar. Bake for about 50-60 minutes or until puffed, golden brown and firm in the center. Serve warm.
