Ingredients:
8 ounces seedless hamburger buns, cut into cubes
1/2 cup dried sour cherries
1/4 cup cherry liqueur or cherry-flavored juice
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup cocoa powder
3 1/2 cups 1% milk
4 egg whites, lightly beaten
3/4 cup prune puree
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ounce semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a medium baking dish with nonstick spray. Place the bread cubes evenly in the prepared baking dish.
• In a small microwaveable bowl, combine the cherries and liqueur or juice. Microwave on high power for 1 minute. Let stand for 5 minutes, or until the cherries are plump and most of the liquid is absorbed.
• In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, cocoa, milk, egg whites, prune puree, and vanilla extract. Add the chocolate and the cherries with any remaining liquid. Stir to mix. Pour over the bread cubes. Press down lightly to make sure that all of the bread is moistened. Allow to stand for 15 minutes for the bread to absorb the liquid.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until slightly puffed and set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Sift the confectioners’ sugar over the pudding.

Yields 10 Servings.
