It’s not Terry’s, it’s mine!

At Christmas in the UK there’s one chocolate that appears in almost everyone’s stocking – a Terry’s chocolate orange. Between us one year Jon and I were given five Terry’s Chocolate Oranges! I know they are a Christmas staple but five really is too many… When we finally made it home once the festivities were over I knew I had to do something to get rid of them.

I’d seen recipes for Terry’s Chocolate Orange Cupcakes, Layer Cakes and even a Cheesecake. But none of those tickled my fancy… I wanted a decadent pudding I could serve up on New Years Day after our dinner. Bread and butter pudding has always been a favourite of mine so I thought I’d add some of the chocolate orange segments into the mix.

As well as the leftover chocolate oranges we also had a rather large panettone that hadn’t been touched. It was a gift to my parents but they already had 2…and no one needs 3 panettones! It came in this beautiful vintage style tin with a Victorian image of Father Christmas on the side. I took it as much for the tin as I did for the panettone inside.

When I cut the first slice off of the top I wasn’t disappointed. It was soft and buttery and dotted with plump fruits, suspended like jewels on a velvet cushion. I cut a second slice intending to use both for the pudding but may have snaffled a piece or two.

A boozy affair

Looking back, I think half of my Christmas presents were edible this year. I can’t decide if that’s a good thing or a bad thing… But as well as being a food filled event, Christmas was also quite boozy this year. My parents kitchen was well stocked with everything from classic port and sherry to advocaat and amaretto. We went to party after party and may have had the odd Bloody Mary the morning after the night before to help perk us up for the rest of the day, just to do it all over again.

Drenching the panettone in a custard spiked with advocaat seemed like a very good idea. It also helped to use up another festive indulgence lurking on my kitchen counter. We’d made french toast in the same way on Christmas Eve so I knew it would make for an extra special, really rich dessert. It does mean that this recipe isn’t appropriate for little ones but you can easily leave it out if you want to share this with your kids!
