Heat the milk with the cinnamon stick and orange peel until it starts to boil. Remove from the heat and leave to infuse for a few minutes.
Pour the strained hot milk over the bread and leave it to absorb the liquid well.
Beat the eggs and add the crumbled bread, sugar, butter, and sweet wine. Mix until you obtain a smooth and even batter.
Add the chopped fruit and stir gently to combine.
Pour the mixture into a greased baking tin, add the chopped chocolate and bake at 180°C for 45–50 minutes.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. This helps the texture to firm up and the flavors to develop.
