List of Ingredients

8 slices egg bread, crust removed, cubed
1 cup half and half
1/4 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
3 tablespoons sifted cocoa
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon rum
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Recipe

In a bowl, soak bread in cream. In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter with sugar until blended. Beat in eggs and cocoa until nicely blended, about 1 minute. Beat in bread mixture, nuts and flavorings until blended. Pour batter into a buttered 2 quart souffle dish and bake in a 350ºF oven for 45 minutes, or until pudding is set. Spoon into dessert dishes and serve with a dollop of Creme Vanilla. Serves 6.

For Creme Vanilla, combine all ingredients and stir until blended. Yields 1 cup sauce. This can be prepared 2 hours before serving.
