Anyone else suddenly get the occasional mid-week 9pm ‘screw the diet – treat yo’self’ feeling? That need for a sweet treat in order to pull yourself out of a hump-day slump? No? …just me then!
When I get these moments of weakness I need to make something tasty quickly – and it is imperative that it’s ready before I come to my senses and reach for the carrot sticks… that’s where these three minute microwave puddings (I love you so much I gave you three options) come in. Before the kettle has even had a chance to boil – this little pot of decadence is ready for eating…
All recipes serve 1 – I’d suggest you try making a couple and sharing them. Best served with a mug of tea or a milky coffee.
:: Amaretto and White Chocolate Bread Pudding
1 piece of soft white bread or brioche, generously buttered (I actually used my leftover fruit buns from Easter)
1 egg
2 tbsp Amaretto
1 tbsp milk
Small handful of white chocolate chips
- Mix together your booze, milk and egg in a microwave proof mug or glass.
- Cut up your buttered bread – into roughly 1″ pieces.
- Add the bread into your boozy custard mixture and stir so that it is evenly coated.
- Sprinkle in your white chocolate chips and put everything into microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes. (Microwave times may vary so just keep an eye on it.)
- Add some ice cream, cream, clotted cream or custard and dig in!
:: Mocha Bread Pudding
1 piece of soft white bread or brioche, generously buttered
1 egg
1 tbsp Kahlua
1 tbsp Baileys
1 tbsp milk
4 squares of good quality dark chocolate roughly cut into chunks
- Mix together your booze, milk and egg in a microwave proof mug or glass.
- Break up your buttered bread – roughly tear it into pieces.
- Add the bread into your boozy custard mixture and stir so that it is evenly coated.
- Sprinkle in your chocolate chunks and put everything into microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes.
- Add some ice cream, cream or custard and dig in!
:: Maple Whisky Bread Pudding
1 piece of soft white bread or brioche, generously buttered
1 egg
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp maple syrup
1 tbsp good quality whisky (I like something smokey to balance out the sweetness)
Pinch of ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp raisins
- Mix wet ingredients in a microwave proof mug (or glass), add cinnamon and whisk to combine.
- Cut up your buttered bread into 1″ pieces
- Add the bread into your boozy custard mixture and stir so that it is evenly coated.
- Sprinkle in your raisins and put everything into microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes (check during cooking as microwave times vary)
- Add some ice cream, cream or clotted cream and dig in!
*Eating it in bed, while you watch tv through the open door of your bedroom into the lounge because your apartment is tiny, is optional… š
Please let me know if you give these a go and tell me how you get on!
PS. Zero judgement from me if you decide to go for one of these on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday etc… a girl’s got to do what a girl’s gotta do in order to get through the week š
Um, this sounds beyond amazing. I can’t wait to try it!!

Thanks Adrienne!
I love microwave cakes like these, as it means I don’t end up with loads of cake to eat another day. I particularly like the idea of using fruit rolls. Will be trying the amaretto one for sure. Love Bec xx
Ooooh Iām not usually a fan of puddings, but you made this sound so tasty! It also looks tasty! I think Iām going to have to give this a try š
That last photo made me giggle. š My friends served bread pudding at their wedding and it was such a hit. I’d love to give this one a try!!
