Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf brioche bread, cut into cubes
- 7 egg yolks
- ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (170 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
- 1 (12 oz / 340 g) can evaporated milk
- 1 (14 oz / 397 g) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Slice brioche into uniform cubes, ensuring consistent size for optimal milk absorption.
- Liquid Fusion: Whisk egg yolks, whole milk, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, vanilla, and sea salt until creating a smooth, cohesive liquid mixture.
- Bread Infusion: Fold bread cubes into milk mixture, allowing complete saturation and flavor integration.
- Assembly: Pour the soaked bread mixture into a greased baking dish, distributing chocolate chips evenly throughout for delightful chocolate pockets.
- Baking Process: Position dish in a preheated oven at 375°F, baking for 50-60 minutes until the surface transforms to a rich golden-brown and the center sets firmly.
- Finishing Touch: Remove from oven and immediately drizzle remaining sweetened condensed milk over the top, creating a luxurious, glistening surface.
- Serving: Present the pudding warm, allowing guests to experience the decadent texture and intense flavor profile at its peak moment.
Notes
- Cube Consistency Matters: Dice brioche into uniform, small pieces to guarantee even milk absorption and prevent soggy or dry spots in the pudding.
- Smooth Mixing Technique: Whisk milk ingredients thoroughly to create a silky, well-blended liquid that ensures rich, consistent flavor throughout the dessert.
- Soak for Perfection: Allow bread cubes to rest in the milk mixture for several minutes before baking, enabling maximum flavor penetration and optimal texture.
- Temperature Control: Monitor oven heat carefully to achieve a golden-brown top without burning, ensuring a caramelized exterior and creamy interior.
