Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 150 g (1 cup) dark chocolate
  • 300 ml (1 ¼ cups) double / heavy cream
  • 200 ml (¾ cup) milk
  • 50 g (¼ cup) butter
  • 50 g (¼ cup) caster sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 10 waffles
  • 4 egg yolks

Equipment

  • Oven proof dish
  • Heatproof bowl
  • Sauce pan
  • Measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • Digital scales

Method
 

  1. Prepare a 30 x 22 cm oven proof dish by buttering the base and sides.
Melt the chocolate custard ingredients
  1. Break up the chocolate and add that to a heatproof bowl. In the same bowl, add the cream, milk, butter, sugar and vanilla extract.
  2. Pop the bowl over a pan of simmering water (a bain-marie), and heat everything gently until it has all melted. Stir it all with a wooden spoon.
    Once it has all melted together and is a lovely glossy colour, remove it from the heat and leave it to cool slightly.
Arrange the waffles in a dish
  1. Get your kids to arrange the waffles in your prepared dish. You want the waffles to overlap – if you need to, cut larger waffles in half diagonally so they fit well.
Add the egg yolks to the chocolate mixture
  1. Start by separating the egg yolks from the whites.
  2. Slowly pour the egg yolks into the chocolate mixture, stirring it well until it is fully incorporated into the mixture.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the waffles
  1. Pour the chocolate mixture over the waffles making sure they are all covered.
    Leave the waffles to soak for at least an hour.
Bake the chocolate waffle pudding
  1. Preheat your oven to 180C / 160C Fan / 350F.
  2. Pop your bread and butter pudding in the oven for around 30 minutes.
    It's ready when the chocolate custard has set, but with a slight wobble in the centre.
    Remove it from the oven, leave it to cool for a few minutes, sprinkle some icing sugar over the top then serve.
