Chocolate Bread Pudding
recipe adapted by Martha Stewart .com

I made this my own recipe by adding more chocolate!

1 T. butter, more fore baking dish
8 slices of cinnamon raisin bread, preferably Ezekiel
2 c. soy milk, full fat
4.5 ounces of dark chocolate, no diary added
1 T. cocoa powder, unsweetened
2 large eggs
1/3 c. sugar, organics better
1 t. vanilla extract
1 T. powdered sugar

1. Grease a 8x8 inch baking dish with the butter. Toast the bread in the toaster until hard (but not burnt!!)
2. In a sauce pan, combine milk, cocoa powder, chocolate, 1 T. butter over medium low heat until the choc. has melted, stirring frequently. Take off the heat to let cool slightly.
3. Tear the bread into pieces and scatter them evenly into the baking dish. Whisk the sugar, eggs and vanilla in a small bowl. Pour the egg mixture slowly into the warm milk mixture whisking constantly. Pour into the bread filled dish, coating every single piece of bread with the rich custard.
4. NOW preheat the oven to 350 so the bread and soak up all that delicious chocolate. Bake for about 25 minutes or until firm and puffed. Cool for 10 minutes and powder the top with powdered sugar!!!!
