Chocolate and Sneaky Prune Bread Pudding




Source of Recipe


Sainbury's


List of Ingredients




1 tbsp chocolate and hazelnut spread
100g (4oz) pre-soaked prunes, roughly chopped
8 thin slices of wholemeal bread
3 eggs
275ml (10fl oz) semi-skimmed milk or you can use skimmed as there is more calcium in it
75g (3oz) grated 70 per cent cocoa chocolate
1 vanilla pod, split
large pinch of grated nutmeg


Recipe



Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4

Cut each slice of bread into 4 triangles. Spread the bread on one side with the chocolate and hazelnut spread. Arrange the bread in layers in a 570ml (1 pint) pie dish. Sprinkle the chopped prunes in between each layer (sneaking them in).

Heat the milk up in a saucepan with the vanilla pod, and add the chocolate. Whisk it in but don't boil. In a bowl, beat the eggs and then pour the flavoured milk in. Remove the vanilla pod. Whisk well. Pour all this over the bread and leave to soak for 1 hour.

Sprinkle the top of the pudding with the nutmeg and bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes, until well risen. Serve immediately with some good quality vanilla ice cream.
