Chocolate Wheat Bread Pudding

This is a recipe I made for a
chocolate bread pudding with wheat bread.
It came out with a good chocolate flavor
a creamy texture although it didn't rise
as much as I thought it was goingto,
it's still good enough to make again and
present to company with ice or whipped cream.

Ingredients:
4 cups fresh wheat bread crumbs
2 cups milk, scalded in microwave
3 eggs, broken and stirred
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
6 tablespoons white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar
Vanilla ice or whipped cream

Butter and sugar a 1 1/2 quart
baking casserole dish, set aside.

Put milk in a glass bowl and heat
on high power in microwave for 6 minutes.

Stir cocoa into milk, add salt and sugar,
stir to combine well.
In a seperate bowl whip eggs, add vanilla.
Cut crusts from wheat bread and
place in a food processor,
process to fine bread crumbs.
Place crumbs in mixing bowl,
stir in milk mixture with eggs.
Add milk to bread crumbs
