Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices st pierre brioche loaf
- 3 large eggs
- 150 g (5.3 oz) dark chocolate
- 400 ml (13.5 fl oz) double cream
- 100 g (3.5 oz) caster sugar
- 85 g (3 oz) butter
- icing sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preparation: Generously coat a 9-inch baking dish with butter, ensuring comprehensive coverage for seamless release.
- Layering: Slice St. Pierre Brioche Loaf into elegant triangular segments, arranging them meticulously in a single, overlapping layer within the buttered dish.
- Chocolate Infusion: Construct a double boiler and gently melt granulated sugar, heavy cream, dark chocolate, and unsalted butter into a silky, luxurious blend, stirring consistently to prevent scorching.
- Custard Integration: Whisk eggs until light and aerated, then delicately incorporate them into the warm chocolate mixture, creating a harmonious, velvety emulsion.
- Moisture Absorption: Cascade the chocolate-egg mixture over the brioche triangles, ensuring comprehensive saturation and even distribution throughout the dish.
- Chilling Phase: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for a minimum of 2 hours or preferably overnight, allowing flavors to intermingle and texture to develop.
- Thermal Transformation: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C), with convection adjusted to 325°F (160°C), positioning the rack in the middle for optimal heat circulation.
- Baking Finale: Transfer the chilled pudding to the preheated oven, baking for 25-30 minutes until the surface achieves a golden hue and the center remains delicately soft.
- Presentation: Emerge the pudding from the oven, dust generously with powdered sugar, and serve either warm or at ambient temperature for a decadent dessert experience.
Notes
- Enhance Flavor Absorption: Let brioche soak in chocolate mixture for maximum taste penetration and silky texture.
- Perfect Chilling Technique: Refrigerate overnight to allow ingredients to blend seamlessly and develop rich, deep flavors.
- Temperature Precision: Use exact oven temperatures to achieve golden top and perfectly set, creamy center without overcooking.
- Serving Pro Tip: Dust with powdered sugar just before serving to create a beautiful, professional-looking dessert with a delicate sweet finish.
