Hot Cross Bun Pudding – Easter Magic in a Dutch Oven!
This Easter, we’re taking your leftover chocolate Hot Cross Buns and turning them into something extra special in your Biroix Dutch Oven. Think warm, gooey Nutella, creamy custard, and melty chocolate chips… yep, it’s as good as it sounds.
Here’s how to make our Hot Cross Bun Pudding:
You’ll need:
• Butter (to grease the Dutch Oven)
• 6 chocolate Hot Cross Buns (or 8 minis)
• 50g butter
• 6 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup cream
• 2 tsp vanilla essence
• 1/3 cup sugar
• ½ cup Nutella
• 2 tbsp milk choc chips
• 2 tbsp white choc chips
To serve:
• Icing sugar
• Ice cream or cream
How to:
1. Preheat oven to 180°C and grease your Biroix Dutch Oven with butter.
2. Cut deep slits into the tops of each bun (don’t cut all the way through!) and fill generously with Nutella.
3. Arrange buns snugly in your Dutch Oven.
4. Whisk eggs, milk, cream, vanilla and sugar in a bowl to make custard.
5. Pour custard over buns and let them soak for 15–30 mins.
6. Sprinkle choc chips on top, tucking a few into the custard.
7. Bake uncovered for 40–50 mins, or until custard is just set. (Pop the lid on if the tops brown too quickly.)
8. Dust with icing sugar and serve warm with ice cream.
