INSTRUCTIONS
Pre-heat the oven to 180c/350f/Gas 4.
1 Pour the milk and cream into a pan, add the vanilla pod and slowly bring
to the boil. Put the eggs, yolks and sugar together in a bowl and mix well.
2 While the cream is heating, slice the croissants and place in an
ovenproof dish, about 30 x 23 x 5cms, slightly overlapping the pieces.
Sprinkle with sultanas and pour over the butter.
3 Once the cream has boiled, take it off the heat. Add the chocolate and
stir well, then pour onto the egg mixture, stirring continuously. Set on
one side to allow the chocolate to melt, stirring occasionally.
4 Stir the whisky into the cream mix and, using a sieve, strain the cream
mix over the croissants, cover with a piece of foil and bake in the oven
for 40 - 50 minutes or until almost set.
5 Place the apricot jam in a pan with 1 tbsp water and boil, stirring.
Remove from the oven, coat the top of the pudding with the jam, and dust
with icing sugar.
6 Caramelise the topping using a very hot grill or, if you have one, a blow
torch. This is best served at room temperature, with a spoonful of good
ice-cream.
