This orange chocolate bread and butter pudding is one of my favorite quick desserts to make when I want something impressive without spending hours in the kitchen. The whole thing comes together in just 55 minutes, and honestly, most of the ingredients are probably already sitting in your pantry. Dark chocolate is wonderfully rich in antioxidants, making this indulgence a bit easier to justify. The bright citrus cuts through the chocolate beautifully, creating this perfect balance of flavors that feels elegant but tastes homey. Trust me, once you try this, you'll be making it again and again.
