Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly grease 1 8" square/round pan or 4-6 ramekins (depending on size) with a little vegetable oil or butter. Set aside.
2. In a large saucepan, over medium heat, whisk together the half-and-half, sugars, cocoa powder, vanilla, cinnamon and chili powder. Slowly add the eggs, whisking throughout to avoid scrambling the eggs. Continue whisking until a rich, creamy custard forms.
3. Carefully stir in the bread cubes and chocolate chips. Remove from heat and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
4. Pour mixture into prepared pan(s) and bake for 20 minutes or until pudding has set. Allow to cool slightly.
5. Garnish the bread pudding with a sprinkle of chili powder. Serve either warm or chilled.

Directions

1. Whisk milk, egg, flour, salt and vegetable oil together. The result should be a very thin batter. Add a little more milk if necessary.
2. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Pour about 1/8 cup batter into the center of the pan. Hold the pan and rotate your wrist to spread the batter out to make a very thin pancake. Use a spatula to spread the batter gently if necessary. Once edges are dry and bubbles form across the top of the pancake, flip and cook the other side. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan if necessary.
3. In a small bowl, stir together ricotta, lemon juice and powdered sugar.
4. To assemble the blintzes, place a crepe on a clean, dry surface. Put about 3 tbsp ricotta mixture into the center of the crepe and fold up like a burrito, tucking in the ends.
5. Serve blintzes garnished with lemon zest and powdered sugar.

Makes about 8 blintzes.
