You just can’t go wrong with a chocolate and banana combo in a custardy, bread pudding. Mashed bananas replace most of the sugar in this recipe preventing it from being overly sweet. It’s great way to use up leftover French bread. The texture will be even better if the bread is saved and used to make this dish the next day. Stale bread holds up better but if you can’t wait until the next day to prepare it, toast the bread cubes to dry them out a bit. Top the warm pudding with whipped cream and berries for a decadent finish.
