Preparation

  2. Cut the brioche dough into 12 equal portions and roll each piece into a ball before flattening into a disk.
  3. Spoon 1 tablespoon of vanilla custard in the center of each disk and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips.
  4. Bring the edges together and pinch to seal, creating a snug embrace for the filling.
Baking

  2. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden brown.
  3. Allow to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar if desired.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for a couple of days. For longer storage, freeze individual brioches wrapped in parchment paper.
