Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 Cups milk
1/2 Stick unsalted Butter, cut into small pieces
4 Ounces best quality unsweetened chocolate
2 Large eggs
1/2 Cup sugar
1 Teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 Teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 Teaspoon salt
2 Cups soft fresh bread crumbs
whipped cream or vanilla
ice cream for serving, optional

This is a great recipe. Its more like a deep chocolate pudding than a
bread pudding. The bread crumbs dissolve and melt into the eggs and
chocolate as it bakes, and forms a smooth custard that's rich but not
heavy. Preheat oven to 325 degrees, with rack in center. Butter a 1
1/2 quart shallow baking dish. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk,
butter and chocolate. Bring to boil over med-low heat, and stir
occasionally, until butter and chocolate melt. Meanwhile in a lg. bowl,
whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Add bread crumbs
and stir in the hot milk mixture. Pour into prepared baking dish. Bake
until the pudding is set and kind of wobbly, but not liquid in the
center, about 45-60 minutes; don't overbake. Let cool on wire rack.
Serve the silk pudding slightly warm or cold, with whipped cream or
vanilla ice cream if you want. Serves 6 From: TJTJ71C Denise

Martha's note: Be sure to use unsalted butter. Salted changes taste
considerably.
