List of Ingredients




1 1/3 cups half and half, light cream or fat free half & half
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup raisins, optional
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
3 cups bread cubes, 1/2" cube size
Whipped cream, optional or Fat Free Cool Whip

Recipe



1. In a small saucepan heat cream over medium heat till steaming. Remove from heat; add chopped chocolate and raisins. Stir occasionally till chocolate melts.

2. In a medium bowl whisk together eggs, sugar, and cinnamon. Whisk in cream mixture, Gently stir in bread cubes. Pour into a 1-quart souffle dish. Cover the dish tightly with foil.

3. Tear off two 15x6" pieces of heavy foil. Fold each piece in thirds lengthwise. Crisscross the strips and place the souffle dish in the center. Bringing up foil strips, lift the ends of the strips and transfer the dish and foil to a 3 1/2-, 4-, or 5-quart crockpot. (Leave foil strips under dish.) Pour warm water into the crockpot around the dish to a depth of 2" (about 1 cup).

4. Cover; cook on LOW for about 4 hours or on HIGH for about 2 hours or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

5. Using foil strips, carefully lift the dish out of crockpot. Serve bread pudding warm or chilled. If desired, top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with nuts. Makes 6 servings.
