Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Brush a baking dish (10- by 14-inches) with 2 tablespoons of butter.

In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, cream, and milk. Add the vanilla, cinnamon, dried cherries, bread, and chocolate and stir to blend thoroughly. Stir the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into the mixture and pour into the baking dish.

Bake until firm, for about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on rack until just warm. Place the square of the pudding down on the plate. Spoon the anglaise over top. Add a dollop of cream, dust with powdered sugar, and garnish with fresh mint sprigs.
