Chocolate chip brioche pudding

Naturally inspired by Nigella, this chocolate chip brioche pudding was the stuff of dreams. It was so easy to make too. Nigella's recipe uses stale bread like a French stick, but because we didn't have any, but I spied chocolate chip brioche buns in the supermarket and I couldn't resist. This serves 6 people generously. 

Ingredients:

1 pack chocolate chip brioche buns, cut into small pieces

3 eggs

1/2 cup heavy cream

2 cups whole milk

1 pack milk chocolate chips or 1/2 packet each of white chocolate chips and milk or dark chocolate chips

1/4 cup light brown sugar

A few teaspoons demerera sugar

Method:

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees centigrade

In a pie dish, add the brioche pieces and chocolate chips. In a large mixing bowl, add all the remaining ingredients except for the demerera sugar and whisk together until blended. Pour the liquid mix over the brioche and gently push down the bread into the liquid. Set aside for 20 mins. Sprinkle over the sugar and bake in the oven for 50 to 60 mins or until the top is golden brown and ouffed up, and the custard is set.
