Rhubarb and Ginger Brioche Bread and Butter Pudding

What's better than Rhubarb Crumble or Bread and Butter Pudding? Rhubarb and Ginger Brioche Bread and Butter Pudding! This twist on two classics is the perfect seasonal comfort food pudding. Delightfuly indulgent serve it hot with your choice or custard, cream or ice cream. 

I'll pretty much always opt for a starter over desert. The exception to this would of course be Cheese. There are however a couple of ingredients that if they feature in dessert menu can lure me over to the dark side. One is Peanut Butter and the other is Rhubarb. Over the years I've had mixed success with growing my own Rhubarb. I barely got enough for a single crumble until a garden redesign meant that I had to uproot and relocate my plant. All of a sudden it began to flourish and there was no stopping it. One of my most popular blog posts combines it with one of my other loves. Yup it's Rhubarb Gin.

8 Slices of Brioche Loaf 

300ml Single Cream

Wash the Rhubarb and cut it into 2-3cm lengths and place in a saucepan. 

Finely chop the Stem Ginger and add to the pan along with the Caster Sugar and the Stem Ginger Syrup. 

Simmer gently for 10-15 minutes until the fruit is soft. Allow to cool slightly.

Spread the remaining fruit mixture over the slices of Brioche and cut each slice into four triangles. 

Arrange the triangles of bread, jammy side up, in an overlapping layer on top of the rhubarb. 

Whisk together the Cream, Vanilla Extract, Caster Sugar and Eggs together and pour over the dish. 

Sprinkle with Cinnamon and cook for 30-40 minutes or until the custard has set and the top is golden-brown.
