Nutella Brioche Pudding is comfort food at its best! Brioche slices are sandwiched together with Nutella and baked in a delicious vanilla custard – be warned, your family will fight over this!
Our local supermarket has opened up a new bakery which is not doing that well and I have heard many complaints from customers about it. It just isn’t one thing or the other so at the end of the day there are baskets and baskets of reduced baked goods.
Recently I decided that their brioche would make an excellent base for a bread and butter pudding but as half my family don’t like dried fruit I knew I couldn’t make a conventional one.
So it wasn’t much of a leap of the imagination to use Nutella which my daughter seems addicted to (well chocolate in general really – no idea where she gets that from)! You could of course use any chocolate spread!
Having made this Nutella Brioche Pudding three times now it is finally good enough to be released into the big wide world. Tweaks were made each time until I got it just right, not that my family minded all the taste testing! Each time I made this pudding they absolutely loved it.
So if you see some brioche going cheap, don’t worry about it being a bit stale as that is perfect for this pudding. Now every time I see brioche reduced I put a loaf in the freezer and for 50 pence I’ve got the base of a really frugal a delicious dessert!
Even if you can’t find any reduced brioche this pudding is so good I think it’s worth splashing out at full price!

I had the same idea today using some stale brioche rolls and Nutella for the same reason as you – a family who dont like Bread & Butter pudding because if the dried fruit! I knew my idea wouldn’t be original but was glad others had enjoyed the yummy recipe!
Camilla
Excellent Margaret, half of my family don’t eat dried fruit either!
Diana Arrowsmith
Fantastic easy recipe to follow, delicious xxx
Camilla
Thank you Diana, so glad you like the recipe:-)
Maza
Easy to follow recipe. It was very tasty. I did butterered bread and then the chocolate spread because I thought it would make the bread nice and crispy. I also added a few milk chocolate squares between the bread slices. It was delicious and my daughter and I really enjoyed it for pudding.
Camilla
Fab Maza, great to make the recipe your own, glad you both enjoyed it – always a hit with my family too:-)
Julie L
I’ve made this several times with a variety of different brioche breads and buns. It became an instant favourite at our house. I’ve just made it for Christmas with extra indulgent ingredients- organic eggs and cream instead of milk. Used chocolate chip brioche buns halved then quartered. Sprinkled the top with white chocolate chunks and oven roasted hazelnuts. It was so divine. It’s been requested as a regular feature for every Christmas in perpetuity! Thank you again for this!
Camilla
Aww, that’s amazing Julie, so glad you and your family like the recipe and that you gave it your own magic touch:-)
Stephen
Love this recipe but i put marmalade on top of the Nutella and it taste like Jaffa cakes!
Camilla
Awesome Stephen, what a great idea! Glad you like the recipe and made it your own:-)

Can this be made a few hours ahead?
Camilla
Hi, you can prepare this a few hours ahead and then bake. Just cover and put in fridge until ready.
Karen
I’m about to make the Nutella brioche pudding, just wonder is it best served hot?
Thanks
Camilla
Yes, definitely serve it hot:-) We’ve never had any leftover so I couldn’t tell you what it’s like cold:-)
Helen
I added small chunks of dark chocolate and mini marshmallows in side my sliced brioche buns and walnuts scattered on the top. Delish!
Camilla
Awesome, great to make a recipe your own:-)
Mindy S
This was really easy to make and soooooo delicious!

Thank you Mindy, so glad you enjoyed it, one of my favourite puds:-)

Jayne Sullivan
Looks so good. I will bookmark this recipe. A good way to use up leftover brioche buns !
Camilla
Thanks, it certainly is:-)
Kerry at Kerry Cooks
What a genius idea!!
Julie
This is, one of my go to recipes and absolutely love it. I’ve made it following this recipe and also adding crushed hazelnuts and dark chocolate chips and today I’ve spread blackcurrant jam on the top of the sandwiches before quartering them and added sour dried cherries. A bit messy but hopefully it will turn out as well as the others I’ve made.
So love your recipes as they are quick and easy and super tasty. Thank you
Camilla
Aaw, thank you so much Julie, that’s made my day! Love your additions and good luck with your jam version, I’m sure it will be fab!
Martina Evans
Fab recipe, I’m definitely going to make this for our family pudding this Sunday!
Camilla
Thanks Martina, just what you need in this weather:-)
Christine Lockley
Mmm yummy, can’t wait to give this recipe a whirl – thanks for sharing
Camilla
It’s so good, happy eating:-)
June Etherington
Looks nice & easy to make and would.t cost a lot for the ingredients if you haven’t already got them.
Camilla
Well I bought a largish sized jar of Nutella for £2.50 today which will last quite a long time, I’m afraid I don’t know the price of brioche but you can find it in roll form often in packs or loaf form from a variety of manufacturers (best if you can find it reduced at the end of the day)!
fjk42
I will have to try this as we all like Nutella in our house and we also like bread & butter pudding. After Xmas you will often find that supermarkets have got Panetone reduced to clear. That also makes an excellent bread & butter pudding, similar in texture to brioche.
Camilla
Thanks, yes Panetonne would be great but we never seem to have a problem gobbling it all up though!
wendy malone
my teenager love nutella so i will be making this.
Camilla
Oh she’ll love this then:-)
Anne Dalzell
I’ve never made a bread and butter pudding but this looks like the perfect way to start. I got a massive jar of nutella for £4 in Lidl and had fancied baking with it.
Camilla
Excellent Anne, it was meant to be;-)
Su Tyler
I agree Brioche makes great B&B pudding. I’ve never thought of making it with chocolate spread though.. good idea…
MMM wonder if the Biscoff spread would taste good too… I feel an experiment coming on!!
Camilla
I don’t think it would be as good but if you try it do let me know:-)
Maya Russell
I’m going to definitely look out for some brioche. It looks so good & easy to make. MMM!
Camilla
It’s soo good Maya:-)
Ursula Hunt
This is really delicious and better than regular bread pudding
Camilla
It really is Ursula:-)
Jane Davies
This looks insanely good, only problem is, I’d end up eating the whole lot to myself !
Camilla
I’m sure if there weren’t 4 of us here the same would happen LOL:-)
Jane McColl
this is pure heaven…… anything with Nutella in is a winner
Camilla
Thanks, that’s how we feel too:-)
Jane McColl

Rosie @Eco-Gites of Lenault
Drool … and as I live in the land of Nutella and brioche it would seem rude not to make this!
Camilla
Exactly! You owe it to your country:-)

Ursula Hunt
This is really gorgeous
Camilla
Thank you Ursula, it’s soo good:-)
Maddy
Love chocolate and this seems a good alternative to fruity puds
Deena Kakaya
Camilla that looks gorgeous! I am not normally overly keen on brioche, but I need that! x
Sally - My Custard Pie
Any form of bread and butter pudding has my name on it. This is a lovely version.
Irene Wright
I like your style – more to the point, I love your recipe for ‘left over’ brioche.
Never know what to do with the extra because when there are just two of us, a whole loaf is a bit much sometimes. Now I have the answer, a delicious pudding will be made. Thank you for this recipe.
Maddy
Yum – just yum!
Ursula Hunt
I love cooking with Nutella, it gives a great flavour
Bintu @ Recipes From A Pantry
I saw this on instagram and just had to come and drool. Yummy…
Becca @ Amuse Your Bouche
YUM. Bread and butter pudding is always amazing but brioche and chocolate spread?! Even better!
Anne Dalzell
Now this is my kind of cake – not too difficult to make and utterly delicious to eat. I agree with your daughter, Nutella is fabulous!
Dannii @ Hungry Healthy Happy
What a sweet and indulgent dessert. I have to try and stop myself from buying nutella as once it is open, that is it! lol
Katie Bryson
This looks like just the sort of pudding my two boys would go wild for Camilla – we seem to get through jars of nutella at an alarming rate!!!!! Bookmarking this for the weekend 🙂
Heidi Roberts
This looks superb – will be on the look out for brioche now!
Kavey
It’s a shame the new bakery isn’t giving the local population what they want. I wonder if those complaining have passed their varied feedback back to the bakery or not?
Love brioche in bread and butter puddings and nutella/ chocolate variations are always a treat.
Jan @GlugofOil
I might have to make this (I don’t do desserts) but Paul would love this!
Paul Wilson
Nice combination – Nutella and brioche.
