adapted from Kitchen by Nigella Lawson
250g stale bread, cut into 3cm cubes
~ I had a stale baguette sitting around so I used that; if your bread isn’t stale leave out for a few minutes to dry out first
100g white chocolate chips or morsels
3 eggs
40g soft light brown sugar
2 x 15ml tbsps of Amaretto
125ml double cream
500ml full-fat milk
to cover:
4 tsp light muscovado (unrefined sugar cane sugar)
2 tsp ground almonds (this was my adding as I used Amaretto instead of dark rum and I used Amaretto instead of the dark rum because I used white chocolate chips not milk chocolate chips!)
- Pre-heat oven 170*C/gas mark 3 Grease dish lightly with butter, you just need a casserole type dish!
- Place bread cubes in the dish and toss in w.c. chips to cover
- Whisk eggs, brown sugar, Amaretto, double cream, and milk.
- Pour over bread and press down to coat them in the liquid
- Leave to soak for at least 20 minutes
- Sprinkle with muscovado and g.almonds
- Bake for 40-50 minutes turn half way through if your oven cooks unevenly
Let the dish stand for a minute before serving!
This turned out really well; we topped ours with some vanilla ice cream! The ice cream helped make it a summer dessert! I always think of this dish as more of a winter type dessert. It is the perfect comfort food!!

ReplyDeleteLove Nigella!! I have 3 of her books and love all of them! My copy of Kitchen is signed! I wanted an hour in line and I was the first there to meet her! ;0) Fun times! My favorite non-dessert from this book so far is the Sweet Potato Dinner (I think that's what it's called?)
