Bread and butter pudding with choc chunks

  • Serves 4
  • Prep time: 10 mins | Cooking time: 30 mins

An economical way of using up leftover bread from cut lunches while giving Dad (and the rest of the family) a special treat.

Ingredients

  • 8 slices white bread, crusts removed

  • 75 grams butter, softened

  • 50 grams dark chocolate, chopped roughly

  • 3 eggs, beaten

  • ½ cup caster sugar

  • 2½ cups milk

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 170°C.

  2. Butter the bread on both sides and arrange in a baking dish.

  3. Scatter over the chocolate.

  4. Beat together the eggs, sugar and milk. Pour over the bread, pressing a little to get it to absorb. If you have 20 minutes to let the pudding sit before cooking, do that now. Otherwise cook straight away.

  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until custard is just set.

Serve with pouring cream, lightly dusted with cocoa, if wished.
