• To make the custard, bring the milk and half of the sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan. Whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, vanilla, and remaining half of the sugar in a medium bowl. Gradually add about one-third of the hot milk mixture to the eggs, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Add the egg mixture to the remaining hot milk. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring constantly, until the custard coats the back of the spoon. Remove from the heat and strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve. Chill the custard in an ice bath until cooled, at least 1 hour.

CHOC ORANGE BREAD & BUTTER PUDDING

Steps:

• Soak the raisins in the liquor for 1 hour, reserving the liquor for the custard mix. Thinly slice loaf and butter ( this is optional, I don't always butter bread if using brioche, keeps calories down!).
• Layer brioche in an oven dish scattering in the raisins and pieces of chocolate in between layers.
• Make the custard by gently heating the milk and cream, add the reserved liquor and orange juice, add to the yolks and sugar whisking as you go.
• Pour over brioche and transfer onto a baking tray, fill with boiling water 2/3rds up and place in a pre-heated oven set at 300F for 35-40 minutes After 20 mins brush on warmed marmalade and return to the oven to finish cooking.
• If required you can finish under a hot broiler to caramelize marmalade. Serve with heavy cream.
