This pudding is very rich so best served in small helpings! Equally as delicious cold. Ingredients:
284 ml double cream |
300 ml milk |
200 g good quality dark chocolate, chopped |
6 egg yolks |
100 g soft brown sugar |
75 g dried fruit (optional) or 75 g nuts (optional) |
225 g croissants, sliced into 2cm thick slices |
125 ml fresh cream, for serving |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 150°C.
2. Grease a 20cm x 30cm oven-proof dish and scatter with the dried fruit / nuts (if being used).
3. Place the double cream and milk into a pan and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate until melted. Set aside to cool.
4. In a bowl, beat together the egg yolks and sugar until smooth. Stir into the cooled chocolate-cream mixture. Stir until smooth.
5. Dip the croissant slices into the chocolate sauce and then layer them in the oven-proof dish, overlapping the slices as you go.
6. Place the dish into a roasting pan and fill the roasting pan to 2/3 full with boiling water.
7. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
8. Whip the 125ml cream and use to serve with the pudding.
