1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with a little of the softened butter.

2. Spread the remaining softened butter over the bread slices and cut each slice into quarters.

3. Layer half the bread in the dish, scatter with half the grated chocolate and half the orange zest, then repeat with the remaining bread, chocolate and zest.

4. Whisk the eggs, milk, cream, brown sugar, orange juice and ground cinnamon until smooth. Pour evenly over the bread and let it soak for 15 minutes.

5. Sprinkle the white sugar evenly over the top of the pudding.

6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until puffed and golden. The custard in the center should reach 160°F (71°C) and be set. Serve warm.
