Chocolate Cornbread:


1 tablespoon unsalted butter


3 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped


1/2 cup all-purpose flour


1/2 cup white cornmeal


1/4 cup sugar


1 tablespoon ancho chili powder


1 teaspoon baking powder


1/4 teaspoon salt


2 large eggs, lightly beaten


1/2 cup buttermilk


Chocolate Custard:


1/2 cup sugar


6 large egg yolks


4 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted


2 cups whole milk


1 cup heavy cream


1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract





Hot Mexican Chocolate Sauce, recipe follows











Chocolate Cornbread:


Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with a disk of parchment paper.


Place chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water and stir until melted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.





Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, chili powder, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the eggs and buttermilk and then stir in the melted chocolate. Scrape batter into the prepared pan and bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack.





Once the bread is cool, break into 1-inch chunks and spread in the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish.





Chocolate Custard:


Whisk together the sugar and yolks in a large bowl until pale. Whisk in the melted chocolate, milk, cream, and vanilla extract until combined.





Using a fine sieve, strain the custard over the bread chunks. Press on the bread chunks so that they are soaked in the custard mixture. Place the pan in a roasting pan and fill the roasting pan halfway with hot water. Bake for 40 minutes or until the custard is set. Remove and let cool on a rack for 30 minutes before serving. This is best served warm. Spoon into bowls and drizzle with the Hot Mexican Chocolate Sauce.











Hot Mexican Chocolate Sauce:


1 1/2 cups heavy cream


2 cinnamon sticks


8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped


1 tablespoon sugar


2 tablespoons ground toasted almonds


Bring heavy cream and cinnamon sticks to a simmer in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat and let steep for 15 minutes. Remove the cinnamon sticks, add the chocolate and sugar, and cook over low heat until the chocolate is completely melted. Stir in the almonds and transfer to a small pitcher. Keep hot.
4 beaten eggs


1 cup of brown sugar


1 cup milk


1 cup cream


1 tablespoon vanilla


6 pieces day-old cornbread cut into cubes


1 cup mini chocolate chips





Preheat oven to 325 F.





Mix all ingredients together, but save 2/3 cup of chocolate chips. Allow mixture to sit for half an hour until the liquid has softened the cornbread. Pour into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the remainder of the chocolate chips on top. Bake until firm. Check after about 40 minutes.





Cornbread Pudding


2 eggs


3 Tablespoons butter, melted


3 Tablespoons sugar


1/2 teaspoon salt


2 cups milk


1-1/2 Tablespoons white vinegar


1 cup all-purpose flour


1/4 cup cornmeal


1 teaspoon baking powder


1/2 teaspoon baking soda


1 cup heavy cream


Preheat over to 350 degrees. Butter an 8 inch square baking dish or pan that is about 2 inches deep. Put the buttered dish in the oven and let it get hot while you mix the batter.





Put the eggs in a mixing bowl and add the melted butter. Beat until the mixture is well blended. Add the sugar, salt, milk, and vinegar and beat well. In a bowl, sift or stir together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and baking soda. Add to the egg mixture to the flour mixture. Mix just until the batter is smooth and no lumps appear.





Pour the batter into the heated dish, then pour the cream into the center of the batter. DO NOT STIR. Bake for one hour or until lightly browned. Serve warm.
Eww. Not milk chocolate. That sounds kinda gross. What is you put in white chocolate chips? Or make a white chocolate glaze?
