Method

If making ahead to freeze:

Tear the brioche rolls into pieces and put them into a large labelled freezer bag along with the raspberries, the chunks of white chocolate and the chopped pecans.

Put the eggs, double cream, milk, maple syrup and vanilla extract into a mixing jug. Whisk together with a fork, then pour into the freezer bag. Give everything a good mix and freeze flat.

Oven:

Remove from the freezer and leave to fully defrost. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Pour everything into a lightly greased, medium-sized ovenproof dish and place in the oven for 30–40 minutes, until golden.

Air Fryer:

Remove from the freezer and leave to fully defrost. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C. Pour the mix into a lightly greased air fryer-safe dish and cook for 10 minutes, then remove and cover well with tin foil. Return to the air fryer for another 10–12 minutes, until golden.

If cooking now:
