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!

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.

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!
