Chocolate Cinnamon Bread Pudding

Directions

1. * Note: To dry bread cubes, start with about 3 1/2 c. (4 1/2 slices). Spread in a single layer in a shallow baking pan. Bake in a 300 degree oven for 10 to 15 min or possibly till dry, stirring twice. Or possibly, let stand, loosely covered, at room temperature for 8 to 12 hrs. Measure 3 c..
2. Grease a 1 1/2-qt souffle dish. Tear off two 20- by 2-inch pcs of heavy foil. Crisscross the strips and place dish in the center.
3. In a mixing bowl beat together the Large eggs, lowfat milk, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon using a wire whisk or possibly rotary beater. Place bread cubes and chocolate in prepared dish. Pour egg mix over bread mix and cover with foil.
4. Place rack and water in a 4- or possibly 6-qt pressure cooker. Bringing up the foil strips, lift the ends of the strips and transfer dish into the cooker. Fold ends of foil strips over the top of the dish.
5. Lock lid in place. Place pressure regulator on vent pipe (if you have a first-generation cooker). Over high heat, bring cooker up to pressure. Reduce heat just sufficient to maintain pressure and pressure regulator rocks gently; cook for 30 min.
6. Allow pressure to come down naturally. Carefully remove lid.
7. Using foil strips, carefully lift bread pudding out of the cooker. Remove foil. Place on a wire rack and cold 15 min. Serve hot.
8. This recipe yields 6 servings.
9. Comments: Chocolate lovers will applaud this old-fashioned favorite especially if you spoon some warm fudge sauce over it.
