Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 8 cups day-old bread cut into cubes
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
For the Topping
  • 1 cup whipped cream for serving
  • 2 tablespoons peppermint candy crushed, for garnish

Method
 

Prepare the Bread Pudding
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract until well combined.
  3. Add the cubed bread and chocolate chips to the mixture, stirring gently to coat the bread evenly.
  4. Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
  5. Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the Pudding
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve
  1. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream and sprinkled with crushed peppermint candy.

Notes

For a richer flavor, you can substitute half of the milk with additional heavy cream. Ensure the bread is stale or day-old for the best texture.
