Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees. • Coat an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with cooking spray. • Quarter baguettes lengthwise, then cut into 2-inch pieces.
• Thoroughly shake coconut milk in container before opening. In a large bowl, whisk together coconut milk, eggs*, ½ cup sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir baguette pieces into coconut milk mixture. Let soak until liquid has mostly absorbed, 10 minutes. • While baguette soaks, roughly chop dark chocolate cocoa almonds and dried cherries. • Stir almonds, cherries, and ½ cup semi-sweet baking bits (you’ll use more in step 4) into bread mixture.
• Transfer bread mixture to prepared dish. Bake on middle rack until bread pudding is set and edges of bread are browned, 35-40 minutes.
• Once bread pudding is finished, place 1⁄3 cup semisweet baking bits in a small microwave-safe bowl. (Be sure to measure the chocolate; we sent more. Save the remaining for another use—like snacking!) Microwave for 20 seconds, then stir. Repeat in 20-second intervals until fully melted and smooth. TIP: To avoid burning chocolate, don’t skip the intervals! • Drizzle bread pudding with melted chocolate. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Wash hands and surfaces after handling raw eggs. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Rich and indulgent, with a delightful crunch from the almonds. Some found it a bit too chocolatey or bitter.
- Ease of prep: Simple to make, though melting chocolate for drizzling can be tricky. Consider skipping the final drizzle.
- Suggestions: Try adding vanilla extract to the coconut milk. Chopped dates and mashed bananas complement the cherries nicely.
- Portions: Makes more servings than expected; consider halving the recipe for smaller households.
- Kid-friendly: Some children may not enjoy the cherries; consider offering them as an optional topping.
Reviews from our home cooks
Vanilla extract added to the coconut milk prior to soaking the bread would round the recipe out nicely. Adding chopped dates and mashed bananas in with the cherries and almonds proved to put it over the top. It is also plenty chocolatey without melting and drizzling more onto the top.
Loved loved loved this dish. I'm not a big sweets nor custard fan, but figured I would give it a try. OMG, easy delicious with crunch. It was like the best moist cookie ever. Highly recommend
Really rich. Could have a little less chocolate or fewer almonds. Overall loved it
Chocolate was hard to control - burned some the first time and couldn't drizzle very well the second time
Pretty good but makes waaaay to much! The meals make 2 or 4 servings and this thing makes like 8 or 10. Way too much.
Great tasting but the serving size seems ~3x too large.
My kids weren't too fond of the cherries but I liked it.
I think this is the 3rd or 4th time I have ordered this and it's excellent every time.
