1 cup heavy cream

1 tsp vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Cream Sauce:
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp butter

Instructions
- Prepare Bread: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish and spread the bread cubes evenly.
- Mix Custard: Whisk milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, and eggs in a large bowl until smooth.
- Assemble: Pour custard over bread cubes, ensuring they soak evenly. Let sit for 10 minutes. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top.
- Bake: Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the custard sets and the top is golden brown.
- Prepare Cream Sauce: In a small saucepan, heat cream, sugar, and butter over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- Serve: Drizzle warm cream sauce over the bread pudding before serving.
