Ingredients

• 6 cups Day-old bread (brioche or challah recommended), cubed
• 3 Ripe bananas, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons Dark rum
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream (for sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Dark rum (for sauce)
• 4 ounces Dark chocolate, chopped (for sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced bananas and cook until they start to soften, about 2 minutes per side.

Step 3

Sprinkle the brown sugar over the bananas and let it dissolve, stirring gently. Cook another 2-3 minutes until the bananas are caramelized.

Step 4

Add the dark rum to the skillet carefully and allow it to cook for 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat and set the bananas aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

Spread the cubed bread evenly in the prepared baking dish. Top with the caramelized bananas, distributing them evenly.

Step 6

In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon until well-combined.

Step 7

Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and bananas. Allow it to sit for 10-15 minutes so the bread can soak up the liquid.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set but slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 9

While the bread pudding bakes, make the chocolate rum sauce. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it simmers (do not boil).

Step 10

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped dark chocolate until melted and smooth.

Step 11

Stir in the dark rum until fully incorporated. Let the sauce cool slightly before serving.

Step 12

Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Step 13

To serve, drizzle the chocolate rum sauce generously over individual slices of the bread pudding. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for garnish.
