Nutella Bread Pudding

Hi Little Dragons, a different post today... food! I am such a dessert obsessive that when my friend bought me a slow cooker I straight away researched bread pudding and made this beauty... (well, it doesn't look like so much of a beauty here but believe me it tastes AMAZING!)

Mmmmm

I thought I'd share the recipe with you in case you fancied having ago yourself. I'm not sure how well this would turn out in a normal oven as I made this in a slow cooker/crock pot.

You will need-

230g butter

235 ml milk

115ml double cream

8 slices of day old bread, cubed. (If bread is fresh and squidgey the pudding can turn out a little soggy, although I quite like this!)

2 tsps of milk chocolate chips

4 large eggs

150 grams sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

60 grams Nutella

Method-

1. Grease the inside of your slow cooker with butter or baking spray and add the cubed bread.

2. Melt the butter and chocolate chips in a bowl standing in hot water (I find this easier than a microwave as I always tend to burn it!) Set aside to cool slightly.

3. Mix the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla extract and nutella in a large bowl.

4. Add the butter and chocolate chip mixture to the bowl and whisk until smooth (it might look quite runny, mine did, don't worry)

5. Pour the mixture over the bread cubes in the slow cooker and push down so the bread soaks it up.

6. Cook on low for approximately 3 hours.

7. Serve warm in a bowl sprinkled with chocolate chips and cream, yum yum!

I'll be honest, looking into the slow cooker all I saw was soggy bread and was convinced it was a disaster. Never the less, I scooped some into my bowl to find it wasn't so grim underneath the top layer. I sprinkled with chocolate chips and served with cream. It was gorgeous, maybe not the most pretty dessert but who cares when it tastes like heaven in a bowl?!
