    Barney's pain au chocolat and almond pudding

    'This recipe reminds me of holidays in France; I would make it whenever we had leftover pain au chocolat. I added my own twist by using almond milk. I’m not really a dessert-eater, but this one brings back happy memories' - Junior Masterchef finalist (2014) Barney
