Description
This Condensed Milk Bread and Butter Pudding is a luxurious twist on a classic comfort dessert. Made with buttery brioche, rich dark chocolate, and creamy condensed milk, it bakes into a silky, indulgent pudding topped with a simple burnt caramel sauce for the ultimate sweet treat.
Ingredients
400 g Butter brioche loaf
100 g Dark chocolate (70% cocoa), coarsely chopped
2 x 395 g cans Sweetened condensed milk
500 ml (2 cups) Pouring cream
8 Eggs
2 tsp Vanilla extract
Burnt Caramel Sauce:
110 g (1/2 cup) Caster sugar
80 ml (1/3 cup) Double cream
60 ml (1/4 cup) Water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced) and grease a 3 L round ovenproof dish.
- Trim the ends off the brioche and slice into 1 cm-thick pieces using a serrated knife.
- Arrange the slices in the prepared dish, overlapping in a circular pattern. Sprinkle about three-quarters of the chopped dark chocolate between the layers.
- In a large bowl, whisk together condensed milk, pouring cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the mixture through a fine sieve over the brioche, ensuring all bread is soaked. Let it sit for 30 minutes to absorb the custard.
- Sprinkle the remaining chocolate on top, then bake for 45 minutes or until golden and just set.
- Make the burnt caramel sauce: In a saucepan, combine caster sugar and 60 ml (1/4 cup) water over low heat. Stir for 5 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
- Increase the heat and boil without stirring for about 5 minutes, until the caramel turns deep golden.
- Remove from heat and carefully stir in the double cream. Set aside for 15 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Drizzle the warm caramel sauce over the baked pudding before serving.
Notes
Add chopped hazelnuts or pecans for a crunchy twist.
Stir a splash of Baileys or Kahlua into the custard for a boozy version.
Scatter raspberries or dried cranberries for a fruity touch.
Replace the caramel sauce with melted dark chocolate for an extra chocolatey finish.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently with a splash of milk or cream.
