Pioneer Woman Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups stale bread, cut into cubes
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
- A pinch of salt
How To Make Pioneer Woman Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a round, deep dish pie plate with butter to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Bread: Distribute the cubed stale bread evenly across the bottom of the greased pie plate.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold the chocolate chips into the mixture to evenly distribute them.
- Bake: Pour the mixture over the bread on the pie plate, gently stirring to ensure the bread is thoroughly coated. Allow the mixture to sit for 15 minutes to let the bread absorb the liquid. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the pudding is set but still moist.
Recipe Tips
- Choose the Right Bread: Use bread that is not fresh because it soaks up the liquid better. Breads like French bread or brioche are great for this recipe.
- Stir Well: Make sure to mix the eggs, milk, cocoa, and cinnamon well. This helps mix everything evenly and stops lumps.
- Add Chocolate Chips Last: Put the chocolate chips in after you mix the other things. This keeps them from falling to the bottom.
- Watch the Oven: Keep checking your pudding while it bakes, especially after 30 minutes. It should be a little wobbly when done, not hard.
- Let It Sit: After mixing everything, let it sit for 15 minutes before you bake it. This helps the bread soak up all the good flavors.
What To Serve With Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding
Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding goes great with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, caramel sauce, and powdered sugar. You can also enjoy it with hot coffee, cold milk, fresh fruit, or Greek yogurt for a perfect dessert.
How To Store Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding
- Refrigerate: Cool the Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding completely. Then, either cover the dish with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Freeze: For extended storage, freeze the pudding. First, wrap it tightly with aluminum foil, then place it in a freezer bag or use a freezer-safe container. The pudding can be frozen for up to 2 months. When ready to eat, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
How To Reheat Leftover Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding
- In the Oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Put the pudding in a dish that can go in the oven and cover it with foil. Warm it up for 15-20 minutes until it’s hot.
- In the Microwave: Place some pudding in a microwave-safe dish and loosely cover it with plastic wrap. Heat it on high for 2-3 minutes, and stir it in the middle so it heats up evenly.
- In the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Put the pudding in a container that fits in the air fryer. Heat it for 5-10 minutes, and check it now and then to make sure it doesn’t get too hot or dry.

FAQs
Can I Use Fresh Bread Instead Of Old Bread?
Yes, but old bread is better because it soaks up the liquid well and makes the pudding feel nicer. If you have new bread, bake it a bit to dry it before using.
How Do I Know When The Bread Pudding Is Done Baking?
The pudding is done when the edges are set and slightly pulled away from the sides of the dish, and the center is just slightly jiggly but not liquid. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
Can I Prepare This Bread Pudding In Advance?
Yes, you can prepare the bread pudding mixture and refrigerate it overnight. This actually allows the bread to fully soak up the liquid, enhancing the flavor and texture of your pudding. Bake it the next day as directed.
