Gluten Free Bread and Butter Pudding isn’t exactly a common dish! However, it is an incredibly easy dish to make. Here is a delicious Chocolate Bread and Butter Pudding recipe from Genius!
I recently was invited to the launch event of some of the new Genius Gluten Free range. I must admit it was one of my favourite launch events… it took place at L’atelier des Chefs, a cookery school in St Pauls, London. I got to spend my Wednesday evening cooking gluten free! I felt like I was on a Free From British Bake Off… let’s get this show onto the BBC!
One of the dishes we made was a chocolate gluten free bread and butter pudding. Of course, we got the chance to sit down and enjoy our dishes afterwards; I enjoyed the gluten free bread and butter pudding SO much… that I thought I would share the recipe with you! It is really simple and we made ours dairy free as well. Bread and butter pudding is an incredibly adaptable dish, I use to often just make a basic one with a regular custard, sometimes I’d make one with bananas too… basically pre gluten intolerance I was a massive bread and butter pudding fan!
a great event with Lucinda, Genius Founder.
Chocolate Gluten Free Bread and Butter Pudding
Ingredients
- 6 slices of gluten free white bread crusts removed and cut diagonally in two (I used Genius)
- 80 g dark dairy free chocolate broken into pieces
- 40 g dairy free margarine I used Pure
- 100 ml dairy free cream I used Alpro Coconut Cuisine
- 100 ml dairy free milk Soy, Almond or Coconut Milk works fine
- 2 tbsp dark rum completely optional!
- Zest of 1 orange
- 55 g caster sugar
- 1 ⁄2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch of chilli flakes optional
- 1 ⁄4 tsp ground cloves
- 2 eggs beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Place the chocolate, dairy free margarine, dairy free cream, dairy free milk, rum (optional!!), orange zest, sugar and spices in a medium sized pan and stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Beat your eggs thoroughly in a medium bowl.
- Pour the chocolate mixture gradually into the beaten eggs, stirring continuously.
- Cut your bread slices into triangles and remove the crusts (you can keep them on if you prefer!)
- Overlap the bread triangles over the base of a small greased oven proof dish then pour over the chocolate and egg custard.
- Bake in the middle of a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the custard is just set in the centre of the pudding.
- Serve warm with dairy free vanilla ice cream.
- Enjoy!
Notes
You could try adding something different, for example I often add pecan nuts to a bread & butter pudding!
You could add chocolate chips to make this chocolatey dish even more chocolatey!
