Ingredients

  • 1 panettone (500 g, 1.1 lb)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tin evaporated milk (400 g, 13 oz)
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts
  • ½ cup brandy-soaked mixed dried fruit
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon mixed spice
  • 50 g butter (¼ cup)
  • ¼ cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit).
  • Use half of the amount of butter to grease an oven-proof dish well.
  • Tear the panettone into pieces and arrange them onto the casserole.
  • Sprinkle over the chopped walnuts and dried fruit.
  • In a jug, beat the eggs well, pour in the evaporated milk, and mix again.
  • Add the spices and sugar, and stir.
  • Pour everything over the panettone, and leave it to soak it up for 5 minutes.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes until set and golden.
  • Scatter the white chocolate chips over just as it comes out of the oven and the pudding is hot enough to melt them.
  • Serve warm or cold.

Notes

  • This pudding is absolutely delicious and dead easy to make. It can be as festive as you wish, and you can add any other ingredients you have around.
  • If the pudding starts to brown in the oven before it had time to set well, cover it with kitchen foil or lower the temperature to 160 degrees Celsius (325 Fahrenheit).
  • Leaving the panettone to soak up the milk mixture ensures an even baking, if you can soak it up for longer, even better. My Christmas breakfast casserole, which is a savoury variation of a bread pudding was left to soak overnight.
  • Another great variation of a bread pudding is my Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Butterscotch sauce, and what a treat that is too!
