⏱ 45 mins 🍽 Serves 4 🌶 british ✅ Easy 🏷 Dessert

This indulgent dessert transforms leftover Christmas panettone into a rich and creamy baked pudding. Slices of the fruit-studded bread are buttered and arranged in a dish before being soaked in a vanilla-infused custard made with eggs, cream and milk. Baked in a water bath for 35 minutes, it emerges golden and set, ready to be dusted with icing sugar and accompanied by softly whipped cream. It serves four people and takes about 45 minutes to prepare and bake.

Panettone Pudding

Ingredients

  • 50g butter softened (optional)
  • 250g panettone (about 5 medium slices)
  • 2 eggs
  • 142ml carton double cream
  • 225ml milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp caster sugar
  • icing sugar for sprinkling
  • softly whipped cream to serve

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Use a small amount of the 50g butter to grease a shallow 850ml/1½ pint baking dish.
  2. Take the 250g panettone and slice it into wedges, ensuring the crusts remain attached.
  3. Lightly spread the remaining butter over the panettone slices. Halve each slice and place them into the prepared dish with the buttered side facing upwards.
  4. Whisk the 2 eggs, 142ml double cream, 225ml milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract and 2 tbsp caster sugar in a bowl. Pour this mixture evenly over the arranged panettone.
  5. Position the dish inside a roasting tin. Pour hot water into the tin until it reaches a depth of about 2.5cm/1in around the dish. Bake for 35 minutes until the pudding is just set, with a golden top and a soft, yellow interior.
  6. Sprinkle the baked pudding with icing sugar. Serve it with spoonfuls of softly whipped cream.
