Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Grease an ovenproof dish, roughly 30 x 20 x 8cm deep with the butter. Arrange a third of the brioche flat on the base of the dish, then layer over the remaining brioche on a diagonal so it’s overlapping. Scatter the chocolate between the layers as you go.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla extract until evenly combined. Heat the milk, cream, drinking chocolate and caster sugar in a pan over a medium heat, whisking to combine. When a whisp of steam appears pour the mix over the eggs, whisking continuously until smooth. Strain the mixture through a sieve into a jug, then pour evenly over the brioche so it is fully coated in the chocolate custard. Leave to stand for 20 mins to allow the brioche to evenly soak up the custard.
- Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 20-25 mins until lightly risen and almost set.
- Dust over the cocoa powder and icing sugar and serve with spray cream, if you like.

Freezing and defrosting guidelines
Both the uncooked and cooked pudding can be frozen, covered, for up to 3 months. Defrost fully overnight in the fridge before baking until piping hot. For more tips on freezing and defrosting food, read our article Love Your Freezer.
