Dairy Free Chocolate Bread Pudding

Chocolate bread pudding is the kind of deeply comforting dessert that feels like it was made for cold evenings and second helpings, and this version delivers every bit of that richness without a drop of dairy. The secret is a double layer of creaminess: a combination of dairy free milk and full-fat coconut milk forms the custard base, giving it that luscious, silky texture you'd expect from a classic. Unsweetened cocoa powder and a full cup of dairy free chocolate chips fold into every soaked cube of day-old bread, so the chocolate flavor runs all the way through rather than just sitting on top. A touch of cinnamon and vanilla round out the custard beautifully, making the whole dish smell absolutely incredible as it bakes. The bread gets a quick toast in the oven first, which helps it hold its shape and soak up all that custard without turning to mush — a small step that makes a big difference. After 40-plus minutes in the oven, the top sets into a slightly puffed, golden crust while the inside stays soft and fudgy. Serve it warm with a dusting of powdered sugar, and it's hard to believe this feeds eight people so effortlessly.
