Hot Cross Bun Pudding
Method
- Grease an 8 cup-capacity round baking dish. Split buns through the centre. Spread Western Star Spreadable on each bun half and place base of buns into prepared pan. Sprinkle chocolate over buns.
- Pour cream and vanilla into a saucepan and place over a medium heat for 5 minutes or until hot. Whisk milk, eggs, sugar and orange juice in a large bowl. Add warm cream. Pour mixture through a fine sieve over bun bases. Place bun tops over bases and set aside for 15 minutes for buns to soften in the custard mixture.
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Place baking dish into a large roasting pan and pour enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of baking dish. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the custard is set (there will be a slight wobble, but this will thicken on standing). Dust with icing sugar and serve with a drizzle of the extra thickened cream.
