posted to recipecircus by catgurrl, From "Classic Home Desserts"


List of Ingredients

4 cups (1 quart) milk
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
4 ounces best-quality unsweetened chocolate, chopped
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups soft fresh bread crumbs
Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)


Recipe

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees (F), with a rack in the center. Butter a 1-1/2-quart shallow baking dish.

2. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, butter and chocolate. Bring to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter and chocolate melt.

3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Add the bread crumbs; stir in the hot milk mixture. Pour into the prepared baking dish.

4. Bake until the pudding is set and slightly wobbly, but not liquid in the center, usually 45 to 60 minutes; do not overbake. Let cool on a wire rack.

Serve the silk pudding lukewarm or cold, with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if you like.
