Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf sweet bread (brioche or challah), torn into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, chilled and cubed
  • 1½ cups dark chocolate chunks, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with unsalted butter.
  2. Evenly distribute the torn bread in the baking dish.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Pour over the bread pieces and gently press down to ensure they are submerged.
  4. Allow soaking at room temperature for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight for enhanced flavor absorption.
  5. Stir in cubed cream cheese and mix in 1 cup of dark chocolate chunks.
  6. Sprinkle remaining chocolate on top before baking for 45-55 minutes until golden brown and slightly jiggly in the center.
  7. Let cool for about 15-20 minutes before serving warm with toppings like vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.
