Method

  1. Put the chocolate, butter, both creams, milk and sugar into a pan. Heat very gently, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate has melted. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for 5 mins.
  2. Then beat in the eggs and amaretto until combined.
  3. Pour a ladle of the chocolate custard into a 1.5-litre ovenproof baking dish, then layer up the bread triangles, overlapping them and pouring the chocolate custard in as you go.
  4. Finish with a layer of chocolate mixture. Press down the bread lightly to make sure the chocolate will cover it all.
  5. Heat the oven to 180°C (gas mark 4). Bake uncovered for 30 mins, then sprinkle with crushed amaretti and bake for a further 5 mins until crispy on the outside but soft in the middle.
  6. Stand for 5 mins then serve with ice cream.
