PAIN AU CHOCOLAT BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C
• Tear Pain au Chocolat into pieces. Spread butter on one side of each piece and place into a large bowl.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and double cream. Mix in vanilla extract and 1 tsp of cinnamon powder.
• Soak the pain au chocolat into the mixture. Fold in chocolate chips (save roughly 5g for topping later). Set aside.
• Line the baking dish by spreading butter at the bottom and sides of the dish. Sprinkle a layer of the remaining tsp of cinnamon powder and 1½ tbsp of demerara sugar.
• Layer the soaked pain au chocolat pieces into the baking dish.
• Pour in the remaining custard mixture. Sprinkle the remaining demerara sugar and chocolate chips on top.
• Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes until golden in colour and risen.
• Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Dust with icing sugar on top and serve warm.

PAIN AU CHOCOLAT BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 150°C/Gas mark 2. Cut each pain au chocolat into three equal pieces widthways and pack them into a baking dish.
• Mix the milk and cream in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Add the chocolate and stir until smooth.
• Mix the sugar and eggs in a bowl and pour the chocolate mixture over, whisking constantly. Then slowly pour the custard over the pain au chocolat, allowing the custard to be absorbed before adding more.
• Bake 25-30 minutes or until the top is lightly crisp but the centre is still wobbly. Serve warm with cream or ice cream.

PAIN AU CHOCOLAT BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING

Steps:

• Lightly grease a 2 litre ovenproof dish. Arrange the pain au chocolat in the dish, with the slices slightly overlapping. Set aside.
• In a large pan heat milk and cream until steaming. Remove from heat. Add chocolate and chocolate hazelnut spread and stir until melted together.
• Whisk eggs and sugar in a large bowl to combine. Slowly pour in hot chocolate mixture, whisking constantly to make a smooth custard. Pour over the pain au chocolat and leave to soak for 30min-1hr.
• Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4. Bake pudding for 30-35min, or until golden brown but still slightly moist in the centre. Serve with cream or ice cream, if you like.

CHOCOLATE BREAD & BUTTER PUDDING

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate and cream together in the microwave, stirring every 30 secs. Warm the milk in a large pan.
• Whisk the eggs and sugar in a large bowl or jug. Pour in the hot milk, whisking as you do, then add the chocolate mixture and whisk to combine.
• Remove the crusts from the bread (these will freeze well for breadcrumbs). Use a sharp serrated knife to cut the loaf into 4 or 5 slices along the length of the loaf (approx. 2cm thick) - this is easiest if you score where you want to cut along the top before slicing.
• Spread one side of each slice with the spread of your choice. Roll the slices up, from the shorter ends, then cut each roll in half or three so you have 10-12 roly-polys. Place them cut-side up in a baking dish. Pour over the chocolate custard, making sure each roll is soaked. Cover with cling film and leave for at least 30 mins so the bread can soak up all the custard, or you can put it in the fridge overnight, if you like.
• Heat oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3½. Brush the tops of the bread swirls with the marmalade, then bake for 45 mins until the bread has puffed up and the custard is just set. Brush with marmalade again for a glossy finish, then serve warm with double cream.
