This looks sooooo good. Great use for old bread. Far from low fat and

definitely has lots of dairy products.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

8 slices fresh challah or brioche

2 3/4 cups heavy cream

6 ounces bittersweet chocolate -- cut into small

-- pieces

11 tablespoons unsalted butter -- at room temperature

5 eggs -- separated

3/4 cup ground hazelnuts -- toasted and skinned

1 cup almonds

1 cup sugar

Frangelico -- to taste

 

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter 12 1/2-cup molds. 2. Cut

the bread into cubes, place it in a mixing bowl, then combine with 3/4

cup of the cream. Let stand about 30 minutes, or until the cream has

been absorbed. 3. Melt the chocolate in a mixing bowl set over a

bain-marie. When the chocolate is smooth, remove the bowl from the bain

marie. 4. Cream the butter in a large mixing bowl, then add the egg

yolks, hazelnuts, 3/4 cup of the sugar, the bread and melted chocolate.

Mix well. (The mixture should be free of large lumps). 5. Whip the

egg whites to soft peaks, then gradually whip in the remaining 1/4 cup

sugar and continue to whip to stiff, shiny peaks. Stir 1/4 of the

whites into the chocolate mixture, then gently fold in the remaining egg

whites. 6. Divide the pudding mixture among the molds and place the

molds in a bain marie. Cover loosely with buttered foil, buttered side

down. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the puddings are set. 7. Whip the

remaining 2 cups cream until it mounds softly on itself, as for creme

chantilly, then perfume it with Frangelico to taste.
