8 eggs
600ml thickened cream
1 cup milk
2/3 cup caster sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract

1 Preheat oven to 150C. Grease and line a 23cm springform cake pan with baking paper. Line a baking tray with paper towel. Put cake pan on prepared tray. Combine apricots, raisins and craisins in a large bowl. Spread butter on one side of each slice of brioche.
2 Line base of cake pan with brioche, butter side down. Sprinkle a third of the fruit mix over brioche. Top with another layer of brioche and fruit. Repeat once more, finishing with a layer of brioche.
3 Whisk eggs, cream, milk, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl. Slowly pour egg mixture over pudding, allowing it to seep in. Stand for 30 minutes. A small amount of liquid will drizzle from cake pan and be absorbed by paper towel. Discard paper towel and rinse tray. Replace cake pan on tray.
