Chocolate Bread Pudding
10 cold biscuits, broken into pieces (I use cold leftover homemade biscuits. Can use whatever bread you like or about five or six cups of bread pieces)
1 1/2 cups hot water
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons cocoa
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 eggs
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup walnut pieces
In a large bowl pour hot water over biscuit pieces and toss with a spoon. Let set for about 10 minutes. Mix the rest of the ingredients, except chocolate chips and nuts, together in a smaller bowl with a whisk. Pour over biscuits. Fold in chocolate chips. Spray a 2 quart casserole dish and fill with mixture. Spread nuts over the top. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven 50 – 55 minutes. Makes about 8 servings. Serve with hot fudge topping below. Can add ice cream and topping to serve.

This dessert is over the top delicious!
When I see recipes calling for heavy cream, it always confuses me. Does that mean whipping cream? Would half and half work?
Yes, it is heavy whipping cream. I have not tried it with half and half but I think it should work, Louise.
The problem with making bread pudding from biscuits is we never have any leftover. Next time we’ll double the batch! Looks fantastic.
Land ! That looks and sounds fabulous! What a great idea to use biscuits…guess that’s a southern thing huh? So glad you shared. I am pinning this one!
