Choc Orange Bread & Butter Pudding
- 1 loaf brioche bread
- 3 ounces dark chocolate, good quality, at least 70% cocoa solids
- 1 ounce raisins
- 2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur
- 2 ounces unsalted butter (optional)
- 1 1/2 ounces marmalade
- 2 1/8 cups milk
- 2 1/8 cups heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons superfine sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/2 orange, juice
- Soak the raisins in the liquor for 1 hour, reserving the liquor for the custard mix. Thinly slice loaf and butter ( this is optional, I don't always butter bread if using brioche, keeps calories down!).
- Layer brioche in an oven dish scattering in the raisins and pieces of chocolate in between layers.
- Make the custard by gently heating the milk and cream, add the reserved liquor and orange juice, add to the yolks and sugar whisking as you go.
- Pour over brioche and transfer onto a baking tray, fill with boiling water 2/3rds up and place in a pre-heated oven set at 300F for 35-40 minutes After 20 mins brush on warmed marmalade and return to the oven to finish cooking.
- If required you can finish under a hot broiler to caramelize marmalade. Serve with heavy cream.
