Again with Valentine's Day right around the corner, this is an excellent idea for a great classic - bread pudding. Since I can't eat chocolate, I tweaked the recipe that my husband loved, Chocolate-Bread-Pudding-For-Two and came up with something I could enjoy as well!
Try some of the variations such as vanilla and dried apricot bread pudding - or experiment with various liqueurs such as Grand Marnier or amaretto - use almond extract instead of vanilla or use dried orange peel along with the Grand Marnier for delicious variations. Still yet, try dried blueberries and vanilla - just soak the dried blueberries and drain before using. There are so many possibilities I think I will be making this dessert for quite some time!
This recipe is a bit different in that it toasts the bread cubes before assembling the pudding - it really did seem to make it a better pudding for the toasting. Also experiment with the bread - sweet breads are good but equally good are French bread cubes and even bagel cubes!
Whatever way you try bread pudding though, it is always a hit - and there are many variations as well with caramel sauces and whiskey sauces, etc. You can experiment and experiment and never tire of the dessert!

Chocolate Bread Pudding Recipe for 2
Most everyone I know loves bread pudding - and most everyone I know loves chocolate! So here is a lightened up recipe of a classic dessert - and just in time for Valentine's Day.
If you need something that is relatively easy to make and also won't blow your diet out of the water, this is the recipe. The fact that you can make it for 2 without tweaking the recipe and cutting things in half or thirds makes it even nicer. I love the toasted bread cubes as it really does make a difference in the density or lack of in the bread pudding - also cooking it in a water bath really keeps it moist.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or whipped topping and sprinkle a little grated chocolate on top - or use Grand Marnier as the liqueur and then sprinkle a wee bit of dried orange peel on top - delicious!
A great ending to a wonderful meal and you can do much of it ahead.
