Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups cubed chocolate babka (about 1 lb)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- Butter for greasing the dish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Spread the cubed babka evenly in the prepared baking dish. If using, sprinkle chocolate chips over the babka.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the babka in the baking dish. Gently press down on the babka cubes to ensure they are submerged in the custard.
- Let the mixture sit for about 15-20 minutes to allow the babka to soak up the custard.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
- Let it cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Serve warm with whipped cream, ice cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
- For an extra rich flavor, you can add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the custard mixture.
- If your babka is very fresh, you might need to toast the cubes lightly before soaking to prevent them from becoming too soggy.
