Instructions

    Pour the milk into a small pot and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Put 150 g  [3/4 cup] chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Pour the milk over the chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir until the chocolate has completely melted into the milk. Cool to room temperature.

    Preheat an oven to 350F. Butter a 2-quart [2 l] baking pan. In a large bowl, mix together the remaining 150 g [2 cup] chocolate with the bread and plums. Evenly distribute the mixture in the prepared pan.

    Whisk together the eggs, sugar, cinnamon, salt, vanilla, and zest. Whisk in the chocolate milk. Pour over the bread and let sit for 15 minutes so the bread can absorb the custard.

    Bake until the custard is nearly set, about 35 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
