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’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!

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!
