This is a seriously indulgent bread and butter pudding made with croissants slathered in marmalade and sprinkled with chocolate. The Grand Marnier makes it even more grown up and sophisticated.
Ingredients
- 400ml double cream
- 200ml milk
- 4 medium free-range egg yolks
- 2-3 tbsp caster sugar

- 8 tbsp marmalade
- 100g dark chocolate, chopped
Method
