With due permission from Valli, I decided to move yesterday’s Bakeathon post to today, since I didn’t want it to clash with the MFB post. I somehow don’t like the idea of having more than one post a day, though I have done that a few times in the past, but not with a full heart. This time, I made sure I asked Valli and as soon as I got the OK, I just went ahead with scheduling the post on the next day. π
The recipe today is an amalgamation of a lot of factors – leftover bread getting stale, wanting to finish a bottle of Nutella nearing expiry date and then not liking the bottle of chocolate flavored Horlicks that I had bought. Horlicks is actually my cheat meal. Especially with nights getting quite chilled now, I always wish for a warm drink before going off to the sleep. Most of the time, it ends up being a small mug of hot water, with a tablespoon of Horlicks stirred in – yes, without the milk and sugar, just to lower the calorie. π But then, the first trial of the chocolate one and it didn’t run well with me. Though, let me tell you a secret – it tastes much better to be eaten off the spoon rather than as a drink! π I hope my mentor isn’t reading my posts – she will get it why I have not been losing weight now… hehe…
Bread pudding is something I make constantly when I have guests or when I need to give away. It is easy to make and easier to please too! I was actually worried while I tried this recipe – would it be overtly sweet? That was my main concern. Nutella is a sugar bomb, everybody would agree, and even Horlicks has sugar in it. As I baked it, I was praying in my mind that the level of sweetness was fine for my family. I had a cousin over for lunch when I baked this. B and he finished off half the tray. The girls had their little share and the remaining was sent off to HD’s staff. I hadn’t send them anything since long and this was a relief for them.
I had a spoonful and found it slightly over-sweet, but for those who love the maltedness of Horlicks and spoonfuls of Nutella, then this is an ultimate bread pudding. Especially with the climate getting chill by the day, I feel that warm puddings like these are apt to keep those sweet cravings after lunch or dinner satisfied. If you love them classic like me, then this bread butter pudding should do the trick! Off to the recipe…
Malted Nutella Bread Pudding
Ingredients
- 50 gm butter
- 10 slices bread
- 5 heaped tbsp Nutella
- 400 ml milk
- 100 ml condensed milk
- 120 gm cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 heaped tbsp chocolate Horlicks
- 2 eggs room temperature
Instructions
- Melt the butter and set aside.
- Sandwich two slices of bread with one tbsp of Nutella. Chop them into squares.
- Toss the bread with the butter and spread in a baking pan.
- Whisk together the milk, condensed milk, cream, vanilla and Horlicks and bring the mixture to heat - do not boil. Take off the heat.
- Break the eggs into a bowl. Whisk them well. Pour a little of the hot mixture and whisk till done.
- Add back into the mixture and whisk well. Keep back to the heat.
- Cook till the mixture thickens. Pour over the bread and let it soak for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Bake for 25 minutes.
- Serve warm.
Notes
It is not necessary to use chocolate flavored Horlicks! Use any malted drink powder of your choice - Boost, Bournvita, or even normal Horlicks will work.

Wow ! I am drooling over this dessert , seriously the minute I read egg β I thought there had to be a substitute β and right away the post gave it . Except for Horlicks I have all ingredients , maybe I will use some drinking chocolate . Should I ?
Super duper recipe ! And donβt worry about your mentor , feed him a little :))
Haha I wish I could feed her… π Drinking chocolate may not give it a malted flavor, but nevertheless will be good for sure! Thank you so much Vaishali…
Wow.. this sure sounds like a sooper dooper rich dessert.. I will definitely want to make some amd have and then worry about the calories later π
Thank you so much Chitra… π
That is such an indulgent and rich bread pudding. Horlicks is an interesting addition here, but I can imagine how delicious it must have tasted in here.
Thank you so much Pavani…
In heaven after reading this.. Always i think a lot when i try a bread pudding and this gives me more confidence..
Bread pudding is the easiest dessert you can make, provided there is enough liquid in your dessert… Thanks a lot Sharmila…
Bread pudding with horlicks and nutella, thats simply fantabulous and droolworthy. Interesting addition of horlicks in pudding. Delectable dessert there.
Thank you so much Priyaakka…
The pudding would have tasted divine with nutella and chocolate Horlicks.Such a fabulous dessert to end a meal.
Thank you so much Nalini…
Horlicks is our family favourite too π and eaten off the spoon – just like that ππ this baked dessert looks very nice Rafeeda
Haha I guess Horlicks is best had that way… Thank you so much Kalyani… π
The pudding looks amazing Rafee. With all the delicious ingredients that went into it, it surely must taste divine. Even I love to eat Horlicks out of the spoon rather than drink it.
Thank you so much Gayathri…
You seem quite the person to keep making pudding all the time..hehehe..this one looks very classic and not to be missedβ¦when it comes to nutella, there is no need to check for expiry date as it never stays that long in my houseβ¦
Haha… I make puddings because I keep having guests most of the Fridays and they expect different ones… Nutella hardly expires in my home too but at times, it does happen that I buy a huge jar without checking the expiry date, and usually I don’t allow the girls to eat it by the spoon… Thanks a lot Valli…
Thatβs so different.. Nutella! Kids will never say no to this.
Thanks a lot Sharmila…
I visited and read the recipe the same day you posted rafee, but didnt comment(laziness), i had a bread pack, a day pasts its life, wanted to try this recipe with that. But i was way too lazy and bread reached the bin!

Thank you so much Renu…
The Horlicks and Nutella twist must have made the pudding extra delicious.
Thanks a lot Suma…
I have only heard Horlicks mentioned in British TV programs but we dont have it here. Is it some kind of cocoa powder? Regardless bread pudding is delicious and everyone loves Nutella
Horlicks is a malted drink, that is stirred into milk and had. They have it in vanilla and chocolate flavors too here. Thank you so much Mir…
Ahβ¦this looks so good that I want to try it out immediately. May be on a cheat dayβ¦I should try this. Aweosme recipe
It is surely a cheat day dessert, too much calories! Hehe… thanks a lot Veena…
