Chocolate Panettone Pudding

January 8, 2012 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 9 Comments

Happy Sunday! I hope that you are keeping warm and cozy this weekend. I am still trying to shake my cold, I guess as you get older it takes longer to recuperate? Either that or I have a super bug! It is strange because it seems as if I take two steps forward and then 3 back, and I have heard the same from other blog friends. Oh well, at least I was well enough to be up and around. I was tired of being in bed.

 I have been busy baking. As I said the other day, I am trying to use up many of the leftover items that I had from Christmas. As I had an abundance of chocolate morsels, and a panettone, I decided to find a recipe for bread pudding. Do you know panettone? It is a tall, cylindrical sweet bread made during the holidays, originally from Milan and it contains candied fruits, such as orange, citron, lemon, and raisins. This bread is delicious on its own but I had an extra and did not want it to go to waste.

 I know that there are many recipes out there for bread pudding and if you have a favorite then by all means use that one. If you are not a bread pudding fan, I think this may convert you and if you love chocolate I promise you will love this dessert.

 

 After perusing a few of my favorite cookbooks, and the Internet I settled on a recipe from Paula Dean and then I adapted it to suit my taste. The original recipe can be found here. I think it is easy, and delicious, and it fit the bill.

Ingredients

  • 1-pound Panettone, cut into small cubes
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 6 eggs lightly beaten
  • 8 oz 60% Chocolate morsels
  • 4 oz semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Lightly grease a 13 by 9-inch baking dish. Place the cubed  bread in the baking dish.

In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, and liqueur.

In another bowl, combine the granulated and brown sugars with the cocoa powder and mix well. Add this to the milk mixture and whisk to combine.

Add the vanilla to the beaten eggs. Combine the egg mixture with the milk mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread cubes; let stand, stirring occasionally, for at least 20 minutes, or until the bread has absorbed most of the milk mixture. Bake the pudding for 1 hour, or until set; a knife inserted into the center of the pudding should come out clean. Serving the pudding warm, or refrigerate it and serve chilled. Serve with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or drizzled with heavy cream.

This chocolate panettone pudding is fabulous! It is light, creamy, and chocolaty, with a nugget of candied  fruit every once in awhile. The raisins, citrus or the orange pieces in the panettone add an extra but light flavor to the dish;  as there are not to many of them in the bread they do not overpower the chocolate. If you like chocolate covered fruit then you will enjoy having these little nuggets in the pudding. Although it is delicious straight from the oven, the flavors meld and the following day it is even more delicious. My family likes to eat it with heavy cream drizzled over the top or served with vanilla ice cream.

I hope you enjoy your day, and if you should try this recipe do let me know what you think? Or if you have one of your own I would love to try it.

Don’t forget the return of Downton Abby. I cannot wait to see what happens next! Will you be watching or were you impatient and have already watched it online?

    My goodness, if I actually ate this, I do believe it would be the best of all worlds…CHOCOLATE, NUTS, a bready texture all rolled up into one! But the most wonderful thing about it is I KNOW it was made with love.

    Dearest Elizabeth, your kind words and friendship have that Butterfly Effect; let this new year be filled with the fairy dust of REAL GENUINE LOVE FROM ABOVE!!!!!!!!!!

    Be well…oh, BE WELL! Anita

    This looks HEAVENLY…Elizabeth. You should take it easy, you don't want a relapse! Be well, take lots of vitamic C and liquids to flush this out of your systerm, hopefully nothing some good homemade baking can't cure:)
    Yes loooooove Panettone, we get it from a great bakery in Little Italy around the holidays and its quite delicious but I bet yours is even better!
    Hoping you feel much better VERY SOON!

    Dear friend…please take it easy! Sending many healing thoughts of love your way..:) And HUGS!
    This incredible, comforting bread pudding is "pudding" me over the edge!!! Yowza:)))
    I adore bread pudding. When I used to work at Dayton's (did you have Hudson's in Milwaukee?), my lunch break would turn into a little piece of heaven when they offered bread pudding with a luscious sauce!
    I've never considered Pannetone for this, but it sounds terrific..enjoy, sweet friend!

    Get well very soon, Elizabeth dear!!!
    xoxoxo,
    – Irina (And I thank you for stopping by chez moi..I'm always so happy to see your messages. The mil visit was intense, to say the least…I think I'll stop there before I get myself in trouble:)))
    Love to you!

    This sounds soooo yummy!
    If I didn't have a few goodies
    still in my fridge/pantry from
    the holidays, I'd make it tomorrow.
    Hope you are 100%, soon. It's
    hard to be dragging when you
    have a lot of things that you
    want to do! Trust me, I know : )

Good morning friends! I need prayers, lots of pray Good morning friends! I need prayers, lots of prayers. My nephew was hit by a car on Thursday while riding his bike. To respect my brothers wishes I can’t say more. I believe in the power of pray and I would appreciate it tremendously if you could pray for my nephews full recovery as well as for his parents who are by his side. Sadly because of Covid they cannot be with him together at the same time. Thank you friends I appreciate this more than I can say. Have a wonderful day and remember life is fragile, it changes in an instant, hug your kids, your parents, your friends, family and pets. #powerinprayer #prayer #prayers #thereispowerinprayer #lifelately #spring #birds #birdsofinstagram

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect?
