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!

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)!

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!

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;-)

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

Ursula Hunt

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:-)
