Anyway here’s Panko-Fried Chocolate Bread Pudding. PFBP for short. Check out how to make it in my new Recipes section.

so i tried this out today. i’m obsessed with alcohol (only in desserts though) so i added baileys to mine. i cut them into the little nuggets, and fried till GBD. Passed em around the kitchen as a good will gesture, and the response was outstanding! people loved it! i had the waiters eating the scraps out of the pan till they wanted to vomit! it was awesome. so thanks for the great idea, and i love the creaming method for the custard. i’d never heard of that before! thanks again!
@Bree- I’m glad you dug it, girl!! I tried this in a larger format as a plated dessert and it was so-so. Stick to hhe mini bites. Thanks for reading!!
