This yeast brioche dough is the perfect base for fruity buns. Apricots or peaches are the ideal accompaniment: a creamy well-scented coconut pudding cream goes perfectly with the juicy and slightly tart stone fruit, while almonds provide the crunchy component. They are great for in between meals, but are also delicious for breakfast. You can made the pudding cream ahead of time and store in the fridge for up to 3 days and use regular milk instead coconut milk if desired, and flavour it with vanilla or rose water. They are best served fresh, slightly warm, or at room temperature.

- Mix the flour, salt, sugar and yeast in the bowl of your stand mixer. Add water and butter, mix, knead with the dough hook of the food processor to a soft, smooth dough. Cover and leave to rise at room temperature for 1-2 hours or until the dough is doubled in size.
- Meanwhile prepare the pudding cream. Mix all the ingredients in a medium saucepan with a whisk. Bring the mixture to the boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. As soon as the mixture thickens, immediately remove the pan from the heat, continue stirring for 2 minutes. Pour the pudding cream through a sieve into a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and cool to room temperature, then chill for an hour.
- Divide the dough into 10 portions, shape into rounds of about 10 cm each, place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Spoon the pudding cream into the centre of each round, place an apricot half on top with the round facing upwards. Brush the edge of the buns with the egg wash and sprinkle the edges of the dough with almonds. Leave to rise again for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Bake the brioche for 15-18 minutes until lightly golden brown. Gently heat the apricot jam and water in a small pan. Brush the still warm brioches with it. Dust with icing sugar before serving.

Angie, I love pudding and I would be a fan of coconut pudding. Coconut pudding with apricots in a brioche shell would be divine.

Love the coconut pudding cream.
Such a great idea ! I have never added some kind of cream on a brioche, but it seems absolutely delicious ! Would like to try !
Do you know what one of my favorite flavors is? The coconut! So imagine how much I like your recipe
Apricot is a favorite fruit of mine, so any bake with apricot is welcome.
I just love the look of these delicate little pasties, they would be perfect for breakfast. The coconut cream would be a nice surprise from the traditional cream cheese or ricotta filling these types of pastries usually have.
They look like baked eggs/sunnyside up from some angle :p breakfast, in between meals...you forgot desserts!
Your yeast brioche dough sounds like the ultimate canvas for these fruity buns! The combination of apricots or peaches with coconut pudding cream and almonds sounds absolutely mouthwatering.
This sounds amazing!!
What a terrific idea. I love coconut & brioche so this is a match made in heaven.
Angie, Not a salad or anything with greens! Hooray! Love this recipe. It's hard to beat the combination of brioche, coconut pudding cream and apricots! Yum! You'd asked what adult beverage was more popular in the USA. The last survey I found said beer 42%, wine 34% and liquor 19%. The other 5% must have liked them all... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
Davvero bellissime e golose!!
