Nutella Bread & Butter Pudding
Another Easter inspired recipe. Bread & butter pudding is a classic, this recipe is a classic with a twist. This is bread & butter pudding using Nutella instead of butter & hot cross buns instead of bread. I love using classic hot cross buns for this as I love the combination of the raisins & mixed peel with the chocolate & hazelnut flavours. It reminds me of panettone (Italian Christmas cake), that I love with Nutella. This is the easiest of desserts if you buy the hot cross buns already made. The calories of this will depend on the hot cross bun you use. I made my own so the calories for mine is roughly 457 per bun, but this will differ if you use shop bought or different flavours, so for that reason I haven’t included the calorie breakdown here. Here is a link to my hot cross bun recipe, if you want to make your own.
Ingredients
6 Large buns
6 large hot cross buns
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
250ml single cream
3 tbsp caster sugar
3 tbsp salted caramel (optional)
50g dark chocolate chips
6 tsp nutella
Method
Preheat your oven to 160 Celcius (fan) and grease an 8 inch square dish with some butter. Set aside
Halve your buns (like you would a burger bap) and spread one side with Nutella (or any chocolate spread).
Add the top back to each bun and place in the greased dish. Drizzle with the salted caramenl (if using).
In a bowl, whisk your remaining ingredients and sprinkle over your chocolate chips.
Pour the liquid over the buns and bake in the oven for 20 mins. (if you notice your buns getting too brown, cover loosely with tin foil to stop them from browning any further).
Best served warm or with a scoop of icecream.
