- 1 Loaf Italian Bread, Cut Into Cubes (About A 1 Pound Loaf)
- 2 1/2 Cups Milk
- 3/4 Cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 Cup Coffee Flavored Liqueur
- 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

- Prepare Bread and Chocolate: Toss the bread with the chopped chocolate and place in the pan.
- Mix Custard Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together milk, cream, liqueur, sugars, cocoa powder, vanilla, espresso, cinnamon, and eggs until frothy. Pour over the bread cubes and gently press the bread into the egg mixture.
