BAILEY'S BREAD PUDDING
(serves 12)
- 8 Cups French Bread (chopped)
- 2 Cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 2 Cups Whole Hazelnuts
- 2 Cups Whole Milk
- 1/2 Cup Coconut Milk
- 1 1/2 Cups Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
- 6 Eggs
- 2/3 Cup Bailey's
- 1 Tbs Vanilla Extract
- 1 Tbs Ground Cinnamon
- 1 Tub of Cool Whip
- 4 Tbs Cocoa Powder
Preheat the oven to 325º
Pour yourself a glass of wine and reach for a serrated knife. Chop your french bread loaf into 3/4″ cubes.
In a medium sized bowl, combine the Whole Milk, Coconut Milk (oh, you don't have that in your fridge? Ew), Vanilla extract, and Bailey's. In a separate little zone whip up your eggs and combine with wet ingredients. Stir together.
In a smaller bowl, combine both Sugars and the Cinnamon.
Now in a large bowl, dump everything together and let your raw mixture soak for 20 minutes. Obviously, it doesn't look super appetizing raw, but it's all good – just pour yourself more wine and try to not check your phone like a psychobitch.
After 20 minutes, add the Chocolate and Hazelnuts. PS.: it's totally okay is you already sneaked like 17 chocolate chips. Stir together and transfer to a 13″X9″ pan. Place in your pre-heated oven.
You have to wait an 1 hour and 15 minutes. It sounds like a lot but like, don't you have questions you need to look up the answers to? Like what's up with that new show Girls? Are 5 blades better for shaving than 4? Did Facebook really buy Instagram? Could he be with that slut from Union Pool right now? Did he tweet about it? Am I crazZzy? Did I really just space out and buy $40 worth of zebra print underwear from Target.com?
Take your Bread Pudding out of the oven. (Tip: to make sure it's ready, poke the center with a knife. If the knife is clean when you remove it, it's done. If it doesn't, leave the Pudding in for another 5 minutes) Serve immediately with a generous dollop of Cool Whip and a sprinkle of Cocoa Powder. I sure hope you have good girlfriends to share this with!
