Chocolate Almond Butter Brioche Flower

Happy Mother’s Day weekend! To kick of the weekend, I made this chocolate almond butter brioche flower for our brunch. You can dust it with powdered sugar and it is best served warm. This recipe looks complicated, but it is actually very easy. If I can do it, you can do it! I will post a video tutorial because I think it is easier to watch than read, at least for me.

You can use any nut butter or even jam in this recipe! I will try it with strawberry jam next time, yum. Each section can be pulled off of the “flower,” making it fun to serve on the table.

This recipe was adapted from Hazelnut Chocolate Brioche on Cookidoo®. I made the dough in my Thermomix®, which made it super easy. The Thermomix® has a kneading function, making the rise perfect. If you don;t have one, you can also make the dough in a stand mixer.

Happy Mother’s Day!
