Today 5th February is apparently THE Nutella Day of the year
I was going to make it but could not trust myself on this one, having still not got rid of the extra Christmas poundage since 2015!
Ready in 1 hour
Serves 6 ( unless you are alone for 24 hours 😉 )
Calories…. hahahaha… Yes it maybe has a few!
INGREDIENTS
- 12Â slices brioche bread or 12 slices ready cut white bread, at least 1 day old
- 350 gms Nutella
- 450Â ml light cream
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 5 ml. vanilla extract
- 200 gms sugar
- 3 large eggs
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with a little butter.
- Make 6 sandwiches with the bread and Nutella. (lightly toast the bread for easier spreading if you prefer)Â
- Cut each sandwich into 6 to 8 pieces. Pile the sandwich pieces into the prepared baking dish.
- In a small saucepan, combine the cream, salt, and vanilla and cook over medium heat until warm.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs. Slowly add the cream mixture, stirring constantly to make sure the eggs do not cook.
- Pour the mixture over the bread and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake on the centre rack of the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, removing the foil after about 20 minutes. The finished pudding will be golden brown on top.
- Allow the pudding to rest for at least ten minutes before serving. ( That’s a challenge!!)
- Add ice cream just for the hell of it. 😉Â
