Ingredients
Recipe Ingredients
- 6 hot cross buns
- 2 plums
- 50 g dark chocolate
- 1 tbsp butter, melted (20 g)
- 1/2 cup crème fraiche (125 g)
- 1/2 cup milk (125 ml)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp rapadura sugar (30 g) (or coconut sugar or brown sugar)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract or paste
- pinch sea salt
Method
1
Cut 6 hot cross buns into 3 or 4 slices – leaving the slices semi-attached on the base of the buns. Thinly slice 2 plums. Break 25g dark chocolate into large pieces, finely chop another 25g chocolate.
2
Brush a baking dish (one that will comfortably fit your hot cross buns) with melted butter.
3
Layer plum pieces between the bun slices. Place the filled buns into the prepared baking dish and press larger chocolate pieces into any gaps. Scatter the finely chopped chocolate over the top and drizzle buns with more melted butter.
4
In a medium bowl whisk 1/2 cup crème fraiche and 1 tsp vanilla extract until loosened. 5. Add 1/2 cup milk and whisk again. Add 4 eggs, 2 tbsp rapadura sugar, and a pinch of salt and whisk once more until smooth and well combined.
5
Pour the custard mixture over the buns and set aside to soak for 30 minutes.
6
Preheat oven to 180°C. Bake the hot cross bun pudding for 30–35 minutes, until custard is just puffed in the centre and the top of the buns are golden. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
