Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 40 minutes
Number of servings: 12 brioche

Ingredients:

For the dough:
- 3 eggs
- 100 g sugar
- 50 g butter
- 125 g sour cream
- a pinch of salt
- 1 pinch of baking powder
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
- vanilla essence
- 150 g flour

For the filling:
- 1 packet of pudding (preferably vanilla)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 50 g white chocolate (chopped)

Preparation:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients at room temperature. It’s important for the butter to be melted and cooled slightly before adding it to the dough. Also, make sure you have all the necessary utensils at hand, such as a mixer, bowls, and brioche molds.

2. Separating the eggs: Crack the eggs and separate the egg whites from the yolks. It’s essential to use a clean bowl for the egg whites, as any trace of fat will prevent them from whipping well.

3. Whipping the egg whites: In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with 50 g of sugar until foamy and forming stiff peaks. This is a crucial step for getting fluffy brioche.

4. Preparing the yolk mixture: In a separate bowl, cream the yolks with the remaining sugar, a pinch of salt, melted butter, sour cream, grated lemon zest, and vanilla essence. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.

5. Combining the ingredients: Add the yolk mixture over the egg whites, being careful to fold gently from the bottom up to avoid losing air in the egg whites. Gradually add the flour mixed with baking powder, continuing to fold gently.

6. Preparing the filling: In a small saucepan, prepare the pudding according to the package instructions, adding lemon juice and chopped white chocolate. Stir well until the pudding thickens and the chocolate melts completely. Let it cool.

7. Filling and baking the brioche: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Fill the brioche molds halfway with the dough, then add a teaspoon of the pudding filling and top with more dough. Bake the brioche for 20 minutes or until golden and they easily pull away from the edges of the mold.

8. Cooling and serving: Let the brioche cool in the mold for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. You can sprinkle powdered sugar on top for a more elegant look.

Serving suggestion: These filled brioche with pudding are delicious both warm and cold. You can serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or with a fresh fruit sauce for a contrast of flavors.

Possible variations: You can experiment with different pudding flavors (chocolate, caramel) or add pieces of fresh fruit to the filling for an extra freshness.

This recipe for filled brioche with pudding is not only simple but also an explosion of flavors that will delight any foodie. Enjoy every bite and surprise your guests with this delicacy!
