Chocolate Orange Panettone Pudding
As one traditional dessert, Bread and Butter Pudding, merges with another traditional Italian Christmas cake, magic is created! This warming dessert is what you need coming in from the cold, dark nights. It is made extra luxurious with the addition of orange marmalade (pulling on my Dundee roots) and dark chocolate chips, even those who don't usually favour a bread and butter pudding or panettone will enjoy this recipe!
Ingredients
50g butter
100g orange marmalade
250g panettone (whichever flavour you prefer - we've gone traditional in this one)
2 eggs
150ml double cream
200ml whole milk
1tsp vanilla extract
2tbsp caster sugar
100g dark chocolate chips
Icing sugar (for dusting)
Heat the oven to 140c Fan
Grease a shallow baking dish with 1tsp butter
Cut the panettone into 1cm thick slices - keep the crusts on - and butter the sides with the remaining butter. Spread a thin layer of marmalade over the buttered sides
Cut the slices in half and arrange in the baking dish buttered side up
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, vanilla and sugar and pour over the panettone. Sprinkle over the chocolate chips
Create a bain marie by sitting the baking dish in a deep roasting tray filled with 1 inch of hot water and put in the oven to bake for 35 minutes until the custard has set and nicely browned on top
Dust with icing sugar before serving
