Black cherry brioche pudding

Everyone will love this spectacular brioche pudding, which offers a creative take on the traditional favourites.



Ingredients 

• 400g loaf brioche, cut into 2.5cm-thick slices
•  3 eggs, at room temperature
•  1 1/4 cups caster sugar
•  1 teaspoon vanilla essence
•  1 1/2 cups milk
•  3/4 cup pouring cream
•  425g can pitted black cherries, well drained
•  whipped cream, optional, to serve

Method 


Step 1
1 Grease a 6cm deep, 14cm x 24cm (7-cup capacity) baking dish. Cut each brioche slice in half crossways and arrange standing upright in dish.
Step 2
2 Whisk eggs, 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla in a jug until well combined. Add milk and cream and whisk to combine. Pour milk mixture over brioche. Set aside for 30 minutes or until brioche has absorbed about two-thirds of milk mixture.
Step 3
3 Preheat oven to 160°C. Arrange cherries over pudding. Place dish on a baking tray and bake pudding for 40 to 45 minutes or until centre is just set and top is puffed.
Step 4
4 Meanwhile, place remaining 3/4 cup sugar in a small, non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Gently tilt pan back and forth until sugar dissolves and turns to toffee. Remove from heat. Drizzle toffee over pudding and allow to set. Serve pudding warm with cream, if desired.
