Bread cubes in a melted chocolate custard, baked in two ramekins. A small-batch dessert.

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces semisweet chocolate
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half cream
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 slices day-old bread crusts removed, cut into cubes (about 3 cups)
  • Optional toppings: confectioners' sugar and whipped cream

Directions

  • Melt the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth, then stir in the half-and-half and set it aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, milk, egg, vanilla, and salt. Stir in the chocolate mixture, add the bread cubes, and toss to coat. Let stand for 15 minutes.
  • Split the mixture between two greased 2-cup souffle dishes. Bake at 350° for 30–35 minutes, until a knife pushed into the center comes out clean.
  • If you like, dust with confectioners' sugar and add whipped cream on top.
