Cocoa powder transforms the classic bread pudding into a chocolate lover's dream. Scattering chocolate chips ensures gooey pockets throughout. The complete recipe and air frying instructions are included.
02Whisk together eggs, milk, cream, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt until the cocoa is fully dissolved. No lumps.
03Divide bread among ramekins. Scatter chocolate chips between the bread cubes.
04Pour custard over the bread. Press down. Let soak for 10 to 20 minutes.
05Drizzle tops with melted butter.
06Ready for the air fryer.
The chocolate chips melt into gooey pockets between the bread cubes. Scatter them in the middle layers, not just on top, so you get melted chocolate throughout instead of just on the surface.
