Ingredients
200 gram (7 ounce) good quality milk chocolate
75 gram (3 ounce) butter
250 gram (8 ounce) (or about 10 slices) white bread
3 eggs
1 teaspoon Cinnamon Ground
25 gram (1 ounce) caster sugar
1 Vanilla Pod
600 millilitre (1 pint) milk
Cocoa powder and icing sugar for dusting
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
- 1 Pre-heat the oven to 180°C, 350°F, Gas Mark 4.
- 2 Lightly grease the sides of an ovenproof dish measuring approx. 30cm x 20cm (12" X 8"). Break up the chocolate and, together with 25g (1oz) butter, put into a heatproof bowl set over a pan of lightly simmering water. Leave until melted. Stir lightly.
- 3 Cut the crusts from the bread and slice into 4 triangles. Arrange approximately half of the slices, overlapping, in the dish and spread with the melted chocolate sauce. Arrange the remaining bread, overlapping, to form a second layer.
- 4 Melt the remaining butter in a saucepan and remove from the heat. Beat the eggs with the Cinnamon, sugar and the seeds from the Vanilla Pod. Add the butter and milk and stir thoroughly. Spoon the mixture over the bread so that all of the bread is saturated. Allow to stand for 1 hour.
- 5 Bake the pudding in the oven for 45-50 minutes until the custard has set and the bread is golden brown.
