Tuesdays With Dorie…4 Star Chocolate Bread Pudding

This week Lauren of Upper East Side Chronicle chose Dorie’s Four Star Chocolate Bread Pudding for us to make. Up until I made this, I had never eaten chocolate bread pudding. In fact, I had only ever eaten regular old bread pudding once – and only once.
Bread. Pudding.
Pudding. Bread.
Each good on their own, but together?
It’s like Ranch Dressing and Ice cream. Both fanstastic, but not something you want to combine. Or at least that’s my theory.


Not that this wasn’t a great dessert…in fact, we ate every bit over 3 days…but I can’t say I looove it. Something about the consistancy. I tried eating it hot. And room temp. And even cold, straight out of the fridge. But invariably, after only one bite, each time I would stick it in the microwave, pour chocolate syrup over it and then pile some Snickers icecream on top for good measure. The nuts in the icecream gave me something to chew on, and that perked it up for me alot.


If you’re a regular reader around here, I bet you already guessed that I didn’t put raisins in mine. As if.
I did add some black raspberries though, and they were a nice touch. If there is ever a next time, I will also add chocolate chips and maybe some walnuts to it – just to give it a little bite. Oh! I almost forgot…I used doughnuts for the bread. It took 7. I took that as a good sign.
