Macabella Croissant Pudding - filled with chocolatey, nutty yumminess! Fab Food 4 All

I have great pleasure sharing my Macabella Croissant Pudding with you today. When I was asked by Macabella (which has just been launched in the UK) to develop a recipe using their delicious cocoa and macadamia spread my taste buds immediately thought of croissants and then to a bread and butter style pudding. I had a hard job on my hands keeping the family’s mitts off the jars of Macabella Crunch and Macabella Velvet when they arrived. After initially trying the Macabella Crunch I told the kids not to have any more until I had cooked something with it. They weren’t happy as they really loved it, no surprise then that it won in the Spreads Category in the Australian Product of the Year 2016. Even hubby was tucking in behind my back!

I chose the Macabella Crunch to make this Macabella Croissant Pudding as the crunchy pieces of macadamia add a lovely texture dimension but of course you could always use the Macabella Velvet which is smooth if preferred. With 19.5% of macadamia nuts in every jar of Macabella Crunch and 15% in the Macabella Velvet these spreads have the highest percentage of nuts of any supermarket sperads. All the ingredients in Macabella are sustainably sourced and are guaranteed to be of premium quality.

So what did the family think of my Macabella Croissant Pudding? Well as you can imagine they loved it, and there were soon 4 empty bowls. We did manage to polish off the lot but I think it could serve 6 quite easily too. You can get hold of Macabella in Sainsbury’s stores throughout the UK at an rrp of £3. So if you buy a jar of Macabella with the intention of making this pudding I suggest you hide it, otherwise you might just find your family got there first!

      Hi, I’m not sure that this brand even exists anymore as their UK Facebook page hasn’t been active since 2018 and I’ve not seen any for sale in the UK after Googling. You could use any chocolate nut spread in place of Macabella for this recipe.

    I’ve been hearing a lot about Macabella, but I haven’t tried it yet. It sounds pretty amazing on its own, but this would be irresistible!

    Wow! We usually have warm croissant with jam at the weekend. This looks like a better alternative in the colder months!
