Healthy Chocolate Bread Pudding Recipe

Posted on December 29, 2008 by healthy-chef

Going dairy free doesn’t mean you have to miss out on old fashioned favorites like delicious bread pudding. Serve this with dairy free cream.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• dairy free margarine or vegetable oil
• 6 thick slices of white bread
• 75 g pitted prunes, roughly chopped
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 500 ml chocolate flavored soy milk
• 50 g caster sugar
• 1 tbsp demerara sugar

1. Lightly grease a shallow ovenproof dish with dairy free margarine or brush with a little vegetable oil. Remove the crusts from the bread and cut each slice into 4 pieces. Arrange the bread in overlapping layers in the dish, with prunes in between the layers.
2. Whisk together the eggs, soy milk and caster sugar. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve, pour over the bread and leave for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the demerara sugar.
3. Place the pudding in a roasting tin containing enough hot water to come halfway up the side of the dish. Bake at 180°C/375°F for 30 to 40 minutes or until the custard is lightly set. Serve warm.
