Ingredients

• 2 cups whipping cream
• 6 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons water
• 14 cups 3/4-inch cubes French bread with crust (about 12 ounces)
• 6 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped

Directions

• Bring cream, liqueur, sugar, and vanilla to boil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Mix cornstarch and 2 teaspoons water in small bowl to blend; whisk into cream mixture. Boil until sauce thickens, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes. Cool, then cover and refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.) Combine bread, chocolate, and white chocolate in large bowl; toss to blend. Using electric mixer, beat eggs, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, and vanilla in another large bowl to blend. Gradually beat in 1 1/2 cups cream and milk. Add cream mixture to bread mixture; stir to combine. Let stand 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish with nonstick spray. Transfer bread mixture to prepared dish, spreading evenly. Drizzle with remaining 1/2 cup cream. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake pudding until edges are golden and custard is set in center, about 1 hour. Cool pudding slightly. Drizzle bread pudding with sauce and serve warm.
