• Trim crusts from the bread and cut into one-half-inch cubes. Place in a bowl, moisten with milk and allow to soak for five minutes. Squeeze the bread dry.
• Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time. Stir in the chocolate, the almonds and the lemon rind. Crumble in the bread and mix until well blended.
• Beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry and gently fold into the pudding batter. Pour mixture into prepared mold and sprinkle with bread crumbs. If you are not using a pudding mold with a cover, cover your mold with a piece of aluminum foil and tie it securely with a piece of string.
• Place the mold on a rack in a steamer. Add four inches of hot water and steam gently for one hour. If you do not have a steamer you can easily improvise one. Select a large, covered casserole or Dutch oven which will comfortably hold the mold you are using. Place a rack inside it. Four pieces of wood criss-crossed may be used instead of a rack. Place the mold on the rack in the casserole and pour four inches of hot water from a kettle or pitcher. Cover and steam for one hour.

CHOCOLATE BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Begin by removing the crusts from the slices of bread, which should leave you with 9 pieces about 4 inches (10 cm) square. So now cut each slice into 4 triangles
• Next, place the chocolate, whipping cream, rum, sugar, butter and cinnamon in a bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, being careful not to let the bowl touch the water, then wait until the butter and chocolate have melted and the sugar has completely dissolved. Next, remove the bowl from the heat and give it a really good stir to amalgamate all the ingredients.
• Now in a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and then pour the chocolate mixture over them and whisk again very thoroughly to blend them together.
• Then spoon about a ½ inch (1 cm) layer of the chocolate mixture into the base of the dish and arrange half the bread triangles over the chocolate in overlapping rows. Now, pour half the remaining chocolate mixture all over the bread as evenly as possible, then arrange the rest of the triangles over that, finishing off with a layer of chocolate. Use a fork to press the bread gently down so that it gets covered very evenly with the liquid as it cools.
• Cover the dish with clingfilm and allow to stand at room temperature for 2 hours before transferring it to the fridge for a minimum of 24 (but preferably 48) hours before cooking. When you're ready to cook the pudding, pre-heat the oven to gas mark 4, 350°F (180°C). Remove the clingfilm and bake in the oven on a high shelf for 30-35 minutes, by which time the top will be crunchy and the inside soft and squidgy. Leave it to stand for 10 minutes before serving with well-chilled pouring cream poured over.
