3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 cups whipping cream
3 oz semisweet chocolate, finely chopped

Instructions
- Lightly brush bread slices with melted butter. Place bread in
greased 2 1/2 quart 4 inch deep baking pan or souffle dish. Sprinkle
bread with currants and set aside. 2. Bring whipping cream and milk
to a boil in a small saucepan. Whisk in chopped chocolate until
melted. Whisk together sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla. Beat
cream/chocolate mixture into egg mixture. Blend well. 3. Pour over
bread slices and currants. Let stand 30 minutes to allow bread to
soak up liquid. Cover pan with buttered foil and place in a larger
pan filled halfway with warm water. 4. Bake at 350F for 45 minutes -
1 hour, or until knife inserted in pudding comes out clean. Cool
slightly. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
