For this irresistible bread pudding, you'll soak fluffy challah bun pieces and chocolate chips in an espresso pastry cream and sugar mixture, then bake it all until warm and toasty, and top it off with a dusting of cocoa powder and dollops of mascarpone—emulating the beloved flavors of classic tiramisu.

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 350°F. Tear the buns into bite-sized pieces. Crack the egg into a large bowl. Add the pastry cream, 1/4 cup of the cream, half the mascarpone, and 1/2 cup of the sugar. Whisk to thoroughly combine. Add the bun pieces and chocolate chips and gently stir to combine. Set aside to saturate, about 2 minutes.
Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish. Transfer the filling to the baking dish; spread into an even layer. Bake 20 to 24 minutes, or until the buns are toasted and the filling is set and cooked through. Remove from the oven; let stand at least 2 minutes before serving. (If making ahead of time, let cool completely, then cover with foil. When ready to serve, keep covered with foil and reheat in a 350°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until heated through.)
While the bread pudding stands, in a bowl, combine the remaining mascarpone, 3 tablespoons of the remaining cream (you will have extra), and 1 tablespoon of the remaining sugar (you will have extra). Whisk to thoroughly combine and slightly thicken. Use a small sieve to sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the cocoa powder (you will have extra) on top of the bread pudding. Serve the finished bread pudding dolloped with the mascarpone cream. Enjoy!
