Air Fryer Chocolate Orange Baileys Bread Pudding

Two of the best things about Christmas = chocolate oranges and Baileys. Here’s how to eat them together!  This bread pudding can be made in the Clear Mini. It’s the perfect size for two, and it’s not suitable for the kids… so make it after hours, and hope that they don’t hear the beep of the air fryer when it’s finishing up 😊

Sampling Terry’s new Baileys

Time for the traditional Christmas meltdown?  Pour yourself a glass of the new Baileys flavour and inhale. That’s the cure for all those presents still unwrapped, laundry still unwashed, and cards unwritten, for half an hour, anyway. Don’t ask us how we know. (This is not an #ad).

Bread & butter pudding

Our Test Kitchen’s junior tasters were bewildered at the idea of ripping up bread to put into a pudding. We told them that this recipe originated in the olden days, when leftovers were precious. Then we told them it’d have alcohol in it, so they couldn’t try it anyway. Evil laugh.

Air Fryer Chocolate Orange Bread Pudding with Baileys

Serves 1

100g old bread (white loaf)
50g chocolate orange chunks
1 egg
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp Chocolate Orange Baileys
60ml double cream
150ml milk
Extra sugar, to sprinkle over the top

1 – Rip the bread into 1-2” chunks and place in the silicone dish for your Clear Mini.  

2 – Add the chocolate orange chunks, pushing them underneath the bread (to keep them from burning on top).

3 – Whisk the egg, sugar, Baileys, cream and milk in a jug or bowl.

4 – Pour over the bread in the dish and leave to soak for 30 minutes.    

5 – Sprinkle with extra sugar.  Carefully slide the dish onto the rack in the Clear Mini and cook at 160°C for 22-23 minutes.

6 – Leave to stand for at least 15 minutes before serving.     

MORE IDEAS

We hardly need to tell you that you can swap out the Baileys for any liqueur, or the chocolate for any other chocolate. You’re probably already imagining the delicious possibilities. Next time you have the end of a French stick sitting in the kitchen, rip it up and put in the freezer – it’ll defrost quickly next time you have an urge for some pudding!
