Ruby Chocolate Bread and Butter Pudding

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 20x20cm baking dish and set aside.

   Tip: Use a non-stick baking dish for easy removal.

2. 2

   In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved.

   Tip: This step is crucial for a smooth pudding.

3. 3

   In a separate saucepan, warm the milk over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

   Tip: Let the milk cool slightly before adding it to the bread mixture.

4. 4

   In a large bowl, combine the bread, melted sugar mixture, and warmed milk mixture. Toss until the bread is evenly coated.

   Tip: Make sure the bread is well-coated, but avoid overmixing.

5. 5

   Stir in the ruby chocolate chips and eggs until well combined.

   Tip: This is the fun part – where you get to add the star of the show – ruby chocolate!

6. 6

   Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.

   Tip: Use a spatula to create a smooth, even surface.

7. 7

   Bake for 35 minutes or until the pudding is golden brown and set.

   Tip: Keep an eye on the pudding – it can go from golden to burnt quickly.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

   Tip: Serve warm, garnished with additional ruby chocolate if desired.

9. 9

   Cut into squares and serve with your favorite toppings – whipped cream, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar work well.

   Tip: Get creative and make this pudding your own!
