Christmas Brioche Bread Pudding with Chocolate Sauce

Slice the brioche bread or French bread rolls to your desired thickness for the pudding base.

Prepare the custard by whisking together the eggs, vanilla, sweetened condensed milk, milk, and a portion of cinnamon.

Fold the chocolate chips into the liquid custard mixture, stirring well to distribute them evenly.

Grease a baking dish suitable for the oven and arrange the bread slices on the bottom.

Gently pour the prepared custard over the bread slices arranged in the dish.

Sprinkle the surface of the pudding with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon for the crust.

Bake in a preheated oven until firm and golden brown, checking for doneness.

Prepare the sauce by melting the chocolate in the microwave, then adding the warm heavy cream, mixing until you achieve a glossy ganache.

Once baked, serve the pudding generously topped with the prepared chocolate ganache.
