Categories: pudding- custard- mousse- flan

Ingredients

• 6 cups whipping cream
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup sugar
• 20 oz. white chocolate
• 4 whole eggs
• 15 egg yolks
• 1 loaf French bread
• 2 Tbsp. chocolate shavings, for garnish
• Sauce:
• 8 oz. melted white chocolate
• 3 oz. heavy cream

Directions

1. Slice French bread into 1 1/2-inch pieces and dry (don’t toast) in a warm oven.
2. To make bread pudding: Heat whipping cream, milk and sugar. Add white chocolate. When chocolate is melted, remove from heat.
3. Mix eggs and yolks together. Working with small amounts at a time, combine egg mixture into cream, chocolate, sugar and milk mixture.
4. Place bread slices in a 9 × 13-inch baking pan. Pour half of cream and egg mixture over bread slices and let settle until bread has soaked up mixture. Top with remainder of mixture.
5. Cover with heavy-duty aluminum foil, place in a pan with 1 inch of hot water. Bake 1 hour at 275 degrees. Remove foil and bake at 250 degrees for 25 minutes, until top is golden brown.
6. Sauce: Melt white chocolate in a double boiler. Remove from heat and mix in heavy cream.
7. To serve: Spoon bread pudding hot from the pan or let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for about 45 minutes. Loosen sides and invert pan. Cut into 8 squares. Top with sauce and sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
