Bread is one of those constant must-haves in our kitchen. The parents have their baguettes toasted with butter and sugar for tea, I have my whites toasted or grilled for sandwich dinners, and ever so now and then all of us make our own signatures with our favourite spreads for breakfast. It shouldn’t come as a surprise now that between three to four different flavours, my choice of spread has always been Nutella.
Hence it is only natural that when I found four bread slices a day past their expiration (shocking, I know!), regardless of the household’s different preferences, I still insisted on having them with Nutella.
Given that it’s been a little more than a year since I posted the recipe for Nutella bread pudding (for one), and yet it remains to be one of the most searched recipes on this site, it definitely calls for a revisit, this time with a larger serving, and some modifications. Or rather, a simple revisit with everything I could find in my pantry. One thing still remains unchanged though, it’s still an ease to bake and eat!
Nutella Chocolate Bread Pudding
(serves four)
4 slices of day-old bread
1 egg
1 cup chocolate milk
2 tsp sugar
Nutella
- Preheat oven to 170C.
- Spread Nutella over a slice of bread, roll it up, and cut into four rolls. Place the rolls into a casserole dish.
- In a bowl, whisk egg, chocolate milk and sugar.
- Pour the mixture onto the rolls. Leave aside for about 5 – 10 minutes, for the mixture to be absorbed.
- If desired, you may drizzle some Nutella on top.
- Bake at 170C for 20-30 mins, depending on your preferred consistency. Leave to cool for about 5-10mins.

Nice lighting in the pics, luv! Very warm and toasty!
Oh yah, talking about expired bread, when eating bread, always check for mould, dear. Regardless of the expiration date!
If you remember my ‘happily-ate-two-slices-of-bread-with-eggs-and-later-found-half-of-loaf-covered-with-black-mould incident’.

Omg, how can I forget that! *shudders along* Should’ve taken note of the brand, and lodge a complaint!

All I can say is “OHMYGAWD!!” I am so trying this tomorrow for breaky!!! I love nutella!
ps – have you ever been to a Cora’s Restaurant? They have this giant crepe filled with warm nutella and banana slices, drizzled with more warm nutella and whipped cream. OHMYSTARS it is wonderful!

That sounds really drool-worthy! You can’t go wrong with chocolate and banana combination, and to top it off with more Nutella is just heavenly!
#5 by happy homebaker on July 26, 2010 - 8:06 am
I have come across many photos of bread pudding, and so far none has generated any interest for me to even look closely at the recipe. Yours has just inspired me to want to try it out right away even though I have no slice bread, and can you believe it, I have not even tasted a bread pudding before?! This will be on our breakfast table this coming weekend, I donno whether I will like it (I like nutella though!) but I am very sure my kids will love it!
#6 by ovenhaven on July 26, 2010 - 12:11 pm
Awww, I’m honoured you’d want to give this a try! I’m not much a bread pudding person either, coz I have an aversion to milky things, so I definitely baked this over the longer side of the duration. For kids, perhaps you’d want to bake it between 20-25mins, so it will be soggy
Hope they’ll like it!
#7 by grace on July 26, 2010 - 4:24 pm
i can see myself getting gluttonous with this really fast–amazing creation!
#8 by ovenhaven on July 26, 2010 - 6:19 pm
Oh trust me when I said it serves four, I actually meant I ate half of it
#9 by Chocolate Shavings on July 26, 2010 - 8:25 pm
Nutella in bread pudding sounds amazingly delicious!
#10 by Adriana from Baking Powders on July 26, 2010 - 8:53 pm
i’m drooling here… i have a friend already asking if i can please please please make the recipe
#11 by Jennifer @ Maple n Cornbread on July 26, 2010 - 9:02 pm
What a fabulous bread pudding! I love both the chocolate and nutella in it!
#12 by ovenhaven on July 26, 2010 - 9:25 pm
Chocolate Shavings: And it tastes equally amazing!
Adriana: I hope you’ll give it a try! I always make the single serving one (link in the post) when I have a late night craving
Jennifer: Hehe, it’s definitely for a chocoholic!
#13 by fattydumpling on July 26, 2010 - 9:59 pm
Aiyah, I recently just baked my first bread pudding and have become enamored with it. This looks so deviously delicious. Nutella should be in everything.
#14 by Wei-Wei on July 26, 2010 - 10:06 pm
I’ve been getting a bit obsessed with bread pudding lately after sampling it at a buffet, so this post comes at perfect timing. Oh, if adding nutella and chocolate to an already sinful dessert is wrong, then I don’t ever want to be right.
Wei Wei
#15 by food-4tots on July 26, 2010 - 10:28 pm
What an interesting idea to use nutella for bread pudding! Look absolutely fabulous! Can’t wait to try it out.
#16 by ovenhaven on July 26, 2010 - 10:48 pm
fattydumpling: ‘ Deviously delicious’;– i like that! And yes, in the perfect world, Nutella would be in every thing, for every meal of the day.
Wei-Wei: Oh trust me, adding Nutella to anything can only make it oh.so.right.
fodd-4tots: Hope you’ll like it as much as I did!
#17 by Ju (The Little Teochew) on July 26, 2010 - 11:07 pm
Am not a fan of Nutella or bread pudding, BUT I am a fan of your photos, Z! They are gorgeous!
#18 by ovenhaven on July 26, 2010 - 11:10 pm
Awwww thanks, Ju! You’re so sweet
#19 by michelle@TNS on July 27, 2010 - 1:10 am
i love the rolled-up bread idea – any way to pack more nutella into a dish is fine by me!
#20 by Xiaolu @ 6 Bittersweets on July 27, 2010 - 6:10 am
My word, I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen such an amazing bread pudding. I had chocolate bread pudding on a cruise in college and thought that was the best it could get, but nutella makes EVERYTHING better and that’s a fact.
#21 by ovenhaven on July 27, 2010 - 12:57 pm
michelle: Hehe thanks! I thought it’d be a better way to have more nutella, as compared to my previous recipe
Xiaolu: Ain’t that the truth! I hear ya, sista!
#22 by percicilan on July 27, 2010 - 9:40 pm
if the bread is wholemeal or rye etc, will this recipe work?
it looks dangerously fattening but something i won’t say no to. like tapai goreng. heh
#23 by ovenhaven on July 27, 2010 - 9:45 pm
Haha! Yup, any type of bread will work, though of course the texture will be a little different. I’d love to give this a try with wholemeal. It’d probably have that grainy hearty taste that’d be perfect with the nutty taste of the nutella.
#24 by thecoffeesnob on July 28, 2010 - 12:58 am
Ah Nutella, the one thing that seems to have captured everyone’s heart universally!
I really can no longer keep Nutella in the house for I’m quite happy to sit with a jar of it and a spoon, and happily call that dinner
#25 by ovenhaven on July 28, 2010 - 1:02 am
Sure sounds like my kind of dinner!
#26 by Carla on July 28, 2010 - 3:32 am
Wow, Nutella bread pudding! What a great and delicious idea!
#27 by ApplesandOnions on July 28, 2010 - 7:50 am
Gorgeous! I love Nutella but have had trouble baking with it. I recently made brownies with Nutella and they were good, but not great. I’m going to try this and hope for better! Thanks for sharing.
#28 by Patricia Scarpin on July 28, 2010 - 10:09 pm
That is food porn! How am I supposed to go on this cold day without a bowl of this beauty?? I’m feeling miserable.
#29 by ovenhaven on July 28, 2010 - 11:32 pm
Carla: Do give it a try!
ApplesandOnions: I know what you mean! I’ve made Nutella brownies as well, but as much as I hate to admit it, it just tasted like brownies with melted chocolate, which is great nonetheless, just not what I had expected
Patricia Scarpin: Haha, wish I could send some over to you, sweetie!
#30 by Sarah on July 29, 2010 - 12:01 am
If I wasn’t so tired, I would get up right now at 12:00 a.m. and make it. I have the same towel. Haha!
#31 by ovenhaven on July 29, 2010 - 12:08 am
Haha! And hey, if you ask me, midnight’s the best time to indulge
#32 by Juliana on July 29, 2010 - 2:17 am
Oh! I love 2 big jars of Nutella (Costco)…so this is perfect for me…would love to try it…and soon!
#33 by Avanika (Yumsilicious Bakes) on July 29, 2010 - 2:52 am
Yum yum yum!!!! LOVE Nutella
#34 by hannah {thepastrykook} on July 29, 2010 - 4:05 pm
honestly i’ve never had bread pudding before. but of course, if i ever do have leftover brioche or croissants, i would give it a try!
#35 by ovenhaven on July 29, 2010 - 4:14 pm
Juliana: Hope you’ll like it!
Avanika: *hi-fives!*
hannah: I’ve always wanted to make bread puddings out of croissants, but croissants never stay long enough in the house
#36 by maya on July 29, 2010 - 11:46 pm
I love this!!! I remember making it the first time and followed the stated amount of Nutella… and I was like “Hah sikitnya!” So now I just slather copious amounts of each slice of bread. Lol!
#37 by Cookie Cutter on July 30, 2010 - 11:20 am
I have a major crush on bread. Seriously, I can have it for all 3 meals although my folks refuse to accept it as a “proper meal”. As a kid, I used to eat Nutella off the jar (ok, and once in a while now)
#38 by ovenhaven on July 30, 2010 - 11:38 pm
maya: Oooh you’ve made this before? Which recipe did you use? Yup, when it comes to Nutella, I say just slather it all on!
Cookie Cutter: Haha, there are just some things which transcends age, and Nutella’s definitely on top of the list
#39 by linda on August 1, 2010 - 4:02 am
Yum! Love that you used milk chocolate, now that I type this I remember you don’t ‘do’ regular milk…. And Nutella, what doesn’t improve with Nutella. I like to improve my spoons with it he, he!
Sorry for the long absence, I have a very, very low profile the blogosphere these days…
#40 by Helene on August 2, 2010 - 2:19 am
Anything with Nutella goes for me. The pictures are great.
#41 by BitterSweet on August 2, 2010 - 9:19 am
Brilliantly simple! I’ve never seen a bread pudding with such a short ingredient list that still looked so delicious.
#42 by ovenhaven on August 2, 2010 - 7:58 pm
linda: Haha, I love how Nutella improves your spoons
It’s okay, Linda, I hope you’re settling down well! 
Helene: Thanks, Helene!
BitterSweet: Hehe, thanks! It tastes really delicious too
#43 by mrsplainjune on August 3, 2010 - 9:08 pm

#44 by ovenhaven on August 3, 2010 - 10:23 pm

What a great way to start the morning, if I may add. Nothing like Nutella to make the day better!
#45 by Catherine on August 7, 2010 - 11:09 am

I made this on a cold winter’s night on the Gold Coast & It turned out awesome! & So easy too. These ingredients are always in the pantry. Thnx
#51 by ovenhaven on August 26, 2010 - 12:15 am
Glad you liked it, Jas!
It’s definitely become my staple bread pudding now 
#52 by tea on September 29, 2010 - 5:38 pm
hi, stumbled upon ur site while i was searching for nutella bread pudding.
i followed ur recipe and it’s yummylicious!! have always been a fan of bread butter pudding but never thought of the combo: nutella + choc milk. will be making this again and again. thanks for sharing the recipe!
n great site u have here, u’ve got another follower..
#53 by ovenhaven on September 29, 2010 - 10:00 pm
Hi tea, thanks for dropping by. Glad to hear you like this!
Surprisingly enough, I’m actually not a fan of bread & butter pudding. I guess coz most of them are much too milky for me, but you’ve just nudged me to come up with my own rendition soon!
#54 by puddingqueen on February 2, 2011 - 1:03 pm
I eat a lot of bread puddings but I have never tried rolling up the bread. It really gives the pudding a different look. I am going to do this and add a layer of thin sliced bananas. Probably serve it with whipped cream. Ahh, I can just taste it.
Thanks for the idea!
#55 by tea on February 14, 2011 - 1:39 pm
hi hi, ive linked ur site to mine yar..hope u dun mind!

puddingqueen: Not a problem! I’m really loving your idea of adding bananas; I’ll give that a whirl next time
tea: Not at all, sweetea! Haha, sorry I couldn’t resist
#57 by Pudding Pie Lane on April 12, 2011 - 9:19 pm
It feels like now I’m no longer having nutella with my bread, I’m having bread with my nutella, it’s just so nice! Very nice photos too by the way
