Ingredients
- 12 ounces day-old bread sliced into bite size pieces
- 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips
- 5 large eggs
- 1 ¼ cups Chocolate Milk
- 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Spray an 8x11 or 9x13 pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place bread cubes into the bottom of the prepared pan. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
- Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Whisk in almondmilk, sugar, and vanilla. Pour mixture over bread and press down lightly with your hands to soak it all up.
- Let sit for at least 2 hours before baking. If your bread is fresh, you can bake it after 2 hours. If it’s more stale, you’ll want to let it sit longer. You can also cover and refrigerate overnight.
- When ready to bake: preheat oven to 350°F. If your casserole has been in the refrigerator, let it come to room temperature while the oven preheats. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the casserole is cooked through. (This will take longer if your dish is cold.)
- Serve warm with whipped cream and chocolate sauce.
Notes
- Use any kind of bread - a crusty bread like French bread or sourdough or brioche is the best. Stale bread works even better!
- You can use almond milk or any nondairy chocolate milk - or make your own chocolate milk with plain milk and chocolate sauce.
