About this recipe
Brioche Berry Pudding Thermomix TM7 is the ultimate comforting dessert for anyone searching for an easy bread pudding recipe with berries and chocolate. Layers of buttery brioche loaf are studded with dark chocolate pieces and frozen mixed berries, then soaked in a rich custard of eggs, cream and vanilla extract before baking until golden. This recipe shows exactly why the all-in-one kitchen machine earns its place on your worktop: the butterfly whisk turns eggs and cream into a light, even custard in minutes, while the integrated scale weighs the flour and caster sugar straight into the bowl for a foolproof mixture. Frozen berries mean you can bake this pudding all year round, and the finishing touch of icing sugar and a scoop of vanilla ice cream makes it worthy of any festive table. Ideal for Sunday lunches, birthdays or a cosy weeknight treat.
Preparation tips
- Cut the brioche loaf into thick slices and arrange them buttered-side up so the tops turn golden and crisp while the custard-soaked centre stays soft and pudding-like.
- Toss the frozen mixed berries in the plain flour before folding them in; the coating stops the berries from sinking to the bottom during baking and keeps them evenly spread.
- For a grown-up version, add a splash of liqueur to the custard mixture, and let the pudding rest briefly before dusting with icing sugar and adding the vanilla ice cream.
Recipe variations
- Make it lactose-free by swapping the cream for oat-based whipping cream and serving with dairy-free vanilla ice cream; the custard still sets beautifully around the brioche and berries.
- For a festive winter variation, replace the mixed berries with frozen cherries and add a pinch of cinnamon to the custard, finishing with dark chocolate shavings and a snow of icing sugar.
Thermomix TM7 Benefits
- With the integrated scale of the TM7 you weigh the caster sugar and flour directly into the bowl, avoiding messy measuring cups and extra washing up.
- Using the butterfly whisk, the Thermomix whips eggs, cream and vanilla extract into a light custard that soaks evenly into every brioche layer.
- The TM7 grinds a piece of chocolate coarsely in seconds, creating chunky molten pockets throughout the berry pudding.
- Heating gently, the Thermomix warms the cream mixture evenly so the custard base blends without curdling before baking.
- Grating chilled chocolate with the TM7 produces fine shavings that melt instantly over the warm pudding for a professional finish.
