Chocolate Bread Pudding

• 1 large loaf of French bread, cubed
• 2 1/2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup cream
• 1/2 cup White Zinfandel
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1 Tbsp. Madagascar Bourbon vanilla
• 1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 6 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 8 ounces chocolate chips

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 Zinfandel. In another bowl, combine the sugars, cocoa powder and cinnamon and mix well. Add this to the milk mixture and whisk together. Add the vanilla 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 at 325 degrees, or until set.
