Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Chocolate brioche (Shop bought or see Recipe Index for a Chocolate Brioche recipe)
  • 350 ml Milk
  • 350 ml Double/ Heavy cream
  • 1 Seeds of a vanilla pod (Or good quality vanilla paste)
  • 90 grams Caster sugar
  • 4 large Egg yolks (The best you can get. The better the egg, the better the custard)
  • 50 grams Butter (Room temperature)
  • 100 grams Chocolate chips (Optional)

Instructions
 

Prep

  • Weigh/ measure the ingredients
  • Separate the yolks from the whites
  • Carefully scrape the seeds from the vanilla pod

To Make

  • Tear the brioche into chunks and place a layer on the bottom of your pie dish. Sprinkle some chocolate chips if using and press down gently. Lightly butter the brioche as you go or add small pieces of butter on each layer with the chocolate chips. Repeat until the dish is full
  • Add milk. cream and vanilla seeds (or paste) to your saucepan. Over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, warm until it just begins to simmer then remove from the heat to cool just a little
  • In a clean bowl, add the egg yolks and sugar and whisk until well combined. It will become paler and slightly increased in volume
  • Place your bowl on a cloth to stop it slipping. While whisking constantly, pour the heated cream mixture in a thin stream into your egg mix until well combined
  • Pour the custard mixture back into the saucepan. Over a low heat, warm while stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes or until the custard begins to thicken a little
  • Pre-heat the oven to 400℉/ 200℃/ 180° Fan
  • Pour the custard carefully over the brioche. Press down gently with a spatula and keep pouring until the dish is full. Allow to sit for 30 minutes, pressing down occasionally to ensure the custard soaks into the brioche.
  • When ready to cook, place in the roasting pan and fill half way up the side of the dish with hot water. Cook in the middle of the oven for around 30 minutes or until the top has turned a delicious golden brown

To Serve

  • Serve warm from the oven for a gooey, custardy treat along with perhaps cream or ice cream or allow it to cool and eat over the next couple of days as a more cake like dessert
