- 3 1/2 cups milk
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 1/2 cup sugar

Recipe
1. Grease 8" by 8" glass baking dish. In 1-quart saucepan, heat milk to simmering over medium-high heat.
2. Meanwhile, in 3-quart saucepan, melt chocolates over low heat. Remove from heat; with fork or wire whisk, stir in sugar, vanilla, and salt, then eggs, until combined. Slowly whisk simmering milk into melted chocolate mixture until blended. Gently stir in bread. Let stand 20 minutes to allow bread to absorb milk mixture, stirring once.
3. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Pour bread mixture into baking dish; sprinkle with cherries. Cover with foil and bake pudding 40 minutes. Uncover and bake 15 minutes longer or until knife inserted in center of pudding comes out almost clean. Cool on wire rack 20 minutes to serve warm, or cover and refrigerate to serve cold later.
Serve with dollop of whipped cream.
