A twist on the classic Bread & Butter Pudding, Chocolate Orange Panettone Pudding is sure to become your favourite way of using leftover panettone!

Chocolate Orange Panettone Pudding is a festive version of Bread and Butter Pudding and a delicious way to use up leftover Panettone. However, be warned, you’ll probably find yourself buying more to make it again!

I’m not quite sure what has happened this year, but my usual January healthy eating kick just hasn’t got going! I blame the mild December we had, followed by the sudden chill we got in the last few weeks.

So this and the need to use up some leftover food from Christmas have meant my January recipes look nothing like those of previous years and instead are full of comfort food.

Forgive me then for another Bread and Butter style pudding in the form of Chocolate Orange Panettone Pudding! 

I thought I probably wasn’t the only one who had bought extra panettone up after Christmas (love Christmas food sales, don’t you?).

So, if you’d like to use your leftover panettone up too, then this recipe is for you!

If you’re not keen on orange zest, you could always leave it out, and if you have more chocolate chips, you could add those.

I used 20 g as that is all that I had, as I have a chocolate Hoover in the house, namely my daughter, so if it’s not bolted down, I’m very lucky to find any left!

Have you managed to get January off to a healthy start? Or are you like me and seem to be hanging on to the winter comfort food?

I’m not going to beat myself up over it, as things will balance out very soon. I’m sure spring weather is just around the corner after all!

I feel a wave of healthy posts coming on, just wait and see!

    So, I have left over chocolate panettone! It’s pretty rich. I will try to add the orange, zest and other ingredients leaving out the chocolate chips. Hope it turns out delicious 🙂

        Hi Anna, apologies I’m not Sally but if it was me I’d make up the dish of bread and cover, make up the custard and pop in fridge, then pour over in the morning and pop back in fridge until you’re ready to bake (probably when the roast comes out of the oven and can be baking while you eat).

    This is a fab recipe Camilla!
    Every year I end up with lots of leftover panettone and sometimes it comes Easter and I still have a couple sitting there on the shelf. In Italy they are really cheap, just over £2 each.. less than 1 Kg of bread! That’s why it is easy to buy far too many!
    I should try this recipe.

    This looks really stunning Camilla, if I wasn’t doing Veganuary I would be popping round for a slice right now! I really don’t know why we try to eat so healthily in January when its so freezing cold and there’s Christmas leftovers like this to be used up – why not May/June when the weather is warmer and we face the prospect of summer clothes for motivation?!
