In a saucepan, heat milk, cream, and vanilla until nearly boiling.
In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks, brown sugar, and cornflour.
Gradually whisk the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture.
Return to the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring until thickened.

Pour the chocolate custard over the bread, mix to coat, and let sit for 30 mins.
