Indulge in a decadent Chocolate and Orange Bread and Butter Pudding. This delightful dessert harmoniously blends rich milk chocolate with the fresh zest of orange, creating a treat that’s perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving it at a family gathering or whipping it up for a quiet night at home, this recipe is sure to impress.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
54g
1/2 cup light sour cream
120g
3/4 cup milk chocolate
170g
3 eggs
150g
2 tbsp sugar
30g
2 cups milk (1% fat)
480g
2 tbsp orange zest
30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish (about 8x8 inches) with a bit of the butter to ensure the pudding doesn’t stick.
2. Prepare the Bread:
Cut your bread into triangles or small squares. Lightly toast the bread slices if they aren't already stale. Butter one side of each piece of bread using the prepared ¼ cup butter.
3. Layer the Bread:
Arrange a layer of the buttered bread in the bottom of the baking dish, buttered side up. Sprinkle some orange zest over this layer. Repeat layers until all the bread and zest are used, making sure the top is well-covered with bread.
4. Make the Chocolate Mixture:
In a saucepan, melt the milk chocolate over low heat or using a double boiler. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn’t burn.
5. Create the Custard Base:
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and light sour cream. Once combined, slowly add the 2 cups of milk and the melted milk chocolate, continuing to whisk until smoothly integrated.
6. Assemble the Pudding:
Carefully pour the custard mixture over the layered bread in the baking dish. Press down gently with a spoon or spatula to help the bread absorb the liquid. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard mixture.
7. Bake:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
8. Cool and Serve:
Allow the pudding to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top.

Tips:

- Use day-old or slightly stale bread for the best texture in the pudding as it will soak up the custard mixture better.

- For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of milk and dark chocolate.

- Ensure the orange zest is finely grated to evenly distribute its flavor throughout the pudding.

- You can substitute full-fat milk or half-and-half for 1% milk if you prefer a creamier consistency.

- Butter the bread generously to enhance the richness of the pudding.

- Let the pudding sit for a few minutes after removing it from the oven to allow the custard to set completely.

This Chocolate and Orange Bread and Butter Pudding is a mouth-watering dessert that elegantly combines the smoothness of milk chocolate with the citrusy punch of orange zest. With just a few simple ingredients and straightforward steps, you can create a memorable dish that will undoubtedly satisfy your sweet tooth and leave your guests asking for more.
