Day Two: Chocolate Bread & Butter Pudding
This week I will be sharing fantastic chocolate recipes. Today it’s a chocolatey take on a classic: Spicy Chocolate Bread and Butter Pudding
What you need
5 thin slices of white bread
75g butter
50g sultanas
100g grated dark chocolate
3 eggs
220ml milk
1 level tsp mixed spice
50g cocoa powder
220ml cream
50g muscovado sugar
1 vanilla pod split and seeds removed
25g icing sugar
What you do
Butter the bread and remove the crusts. Place one layer of bread on the base of the tray and cover with a layer of sultanas and chocolate..
Place the rest of the bread on top of the sultanas.
Bring the cream, milk, mixed spice, cocoa powder, sugar and vanilla to the boil in a pan and place the eggs in a bowl and whisk the hot liquid into them.
Pour over the bread and place the dish in a bain-marie and put in a moderate oven for about ½ hour until cooked.
Dust with icing sugar.
Cover with whipped cream and Armagnac prunes.
Tomorrow, a recipe for an indulgent chocolate crunch torte with pistachios & sour cherries!
