Chocolate Cranberry Bread Pudding

For Thanksgiving I wanted to bring something not so traditional but still with a Thanksgiving feel. I knew there would be pumpkin pies and pecan pies and probably even a chocolate pie so I went with a dessert that wasnt too sweet and not too heavy: Chocolate Cranberry Bread Pudding! This bread pudding is made with brioche bread. Brioche is a very light and buttery french style of bread. I actually used some brioche rolls that i found at Whole Foods Market. I purchased fresh cranberries that i had frozen earlier and chose bittersweet chocolate to keep it chocolatey but not to sweet. I added some cinnamon, clove and cardomom for a little holiday spice. For the whipped cream, i infused the cream with sprigs of fresh rosemary the night before whipping. The rosemary gave the cream a very very lightly herbal taste that paired well with the bread pudding. I sprinkled little Crunchy Valrhona Chocolate Pearls over the whipped cream before serving. This bread pudding is rich and delicious but not heavy. The brioche is key! The light flakey butterey bread is a perfect base for the cream, chocolate and cranberries. The cranberries give a festive look and fresh, tart flavor to the dessert. Enjoy!
