Chocolate Orange Bread and Butter Pudding

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180C, Gas Mark 4 and lightly grease a 1 litre ovenproof dish.

2. Remove the crusts from the bread, then cover each slice with the margarine and cut in half to form triangles.

3. To make the custard, place the custard powder in a small bowl and blend with 2 tablespoons of soya milk.

4. Place the remaining milk and the Nākd Cocoa Orange Fruit & Nut Bits in a medium saucepan, with the orange rind and heat until nearly boiling. Add some of this mixture to the custard and mix well.

5. Return to the pan, along with the remaining milk and whisk over a medium heat, until the mixture starts to thicken. Add the orange juice and simmer gently for 1-2 minutes.

6. Pour a little of the chocolate custard into the bottom of the dish, then arrange half the bread over the top, in overlapping rows. Sprinkle over a little of the chopped chocolate, cover with more of the chocolate custard and arrange the remaining bread over the top.

7. Sprinkle over the remaining chocolate, then pour over the remaining custard ensuring that all the bread is covered. Leave to stand for 10 minutes.

8. Cook for 20-25 minutes until bubbling and allow to stand for 5 minutes before serving.
