This is from Paula Deen...sounds yummy




Prep Time:10 min
Inactive Prep Time:20 min
Cook Time:1 hr 0 min
Level:Easy
Serves: 10 to 12 servings.

Ingredients
1-pound loaf French or Italian bread, cut into cubes (about 15 cups)
3 cups milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup coffee-flavored liqueur
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons pure almond extract
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips


Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly grease a 13 by 9-inch baking dish. Place the bread in the baking dish.

In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, and liqueur.

In another bowl, combine the granulated and brown sugars with the cocoa powder and mix well. Add this to the
milk mixture and whisk to combine.

Add the vanilla and almond extracts and the cinnamon to the beaten eggs. Combine the egg mixture with the milk
mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread cubes; let stand,
stirring occasionally, for at least 20 minutes, or until the bread has absorbed most of the milk mixture. Bake
the pudding for 1 hour, or until set; a knife inserted into the center of the pudding should come out clean.
Serving the pudding warm, or refrigerate it and serve chilled.

Serve it warm or cold, with whipped cream or a dessert sauce.
