This tasty chocolate hot cross bun pudding is fun to make and is a great way to use up any leftover hot cross buns from Easter. Save the egg whites to make meringues or bulk up an omelette. If you're feeling over-indulged with chocolate treats, try using 50g of sultanas instead of the chocolate. Best served warm with vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
Makes 2 individual puddings
Peel of ½ orange
150ml double cream
150ml milk
½ tsp vanilla bean paste
50g good quality dark chocolate chips
2 egg yolks
1 tbsp caster sugar
50g good quality dark chocolate chips
3 hot cross buns (thinly sliced)
50g butter
50g sugar
½ tsp mixed spice
Method
-
Butter one side of the bun slices, cover and set to one side.
-
In a Miele Solid Steam Container, add the orange peel, double cream, milk and vanilla bean paste. Infuse in your Miele Steam Oven at 100˚C for 7 minutes. If you don't have a Miele Steam Oven, combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and infuse for 10 minutes over a low medium heat.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar and dark chocolate.
-
Once the milk has infused, strain through a fine sieve into the egg and sugar mixture, ensuring to whisk the whole time so that the egg does not scramble.
-
Once you have your custard mix, start to assemble the pudding by layering the bun slices with a sprinkling of chocolate chips, sugar and mixed spice between each layer. Keep the best bun slices for the top layer.
- Preheat your Miele Steam Oven to 150˚C on the Fan Plus function. If you don't have a Miele Steam Oven, cook in your oven at 130˚C and check the custard consistency regularly.
