Chocolate and Banana Bread and Butter Pudding

Bread and Butter Pudding is a traditional English dessert to use up stale bread. But I hope this recipe reinvigorates the dessert for those who want to try something slightly different.

Ingredients

2 Bananas chopped
60g of chocolate chips
8 thin slices of thin bread with the crust removed and cut into three
approx 100g of melted butter
 2 Tbsp Demerara Sugar

For the Custard

2 eggs
300 ml of Double cream
150 ml of milk
1 Vanilla Pod

Method

1) Melt the butter, use some this butter to grease your oven proof dish
2) Dip one side of each piece bread and place butter side down so that it covers the base of the dish.
3) Then place your Bananas and choc chips.
4) Then Dip  the other pieces of bread but place them butter side up
5) Meanwhile, make the custard Beat the eggs milk and double in a bowl then place the vanilla pod so the custard infuses with the flavour
6) Cover the bread with the custard and add few more  choc chips and sprinkle the demerara sugar
7) Leave the custard in the Oven proof dish for about an hour before you bake @ 180 oC for 30 -40 minutes. Can be enjoyed hot and cold.
