Method
Ingredients
- 4 hot cross buns (the fresher the better)
- vanilla ice cream
- salted caramel (I used store-bought)
- 2 tablespoons pistachio nuts, roughly chopped
Method
- Preheat the oven to 90°C.
- Place your hot cross buns on a tray and heat until nice and warm.
- Remove from the oven and cut a small cone shape out of the top of each bun.
- Put each bun on a serving plate, tuck a big scoop of vanilla ice cream into the hole on top, pour over salted caramel, sprinkle over pistachios and you’re ready to indulge.
Tips:
- Don't like vanilla ice cream? Swap out for your favourite flavour and top with chocolate fudge instead!
FAQs:
- What if I don't have hot cross buns ready-made?
- You can buy them ready-made at your local New World, or you can make them from scratch with our traditional hot cross bun recipe!
- Is there a healthier alternative?
- Yes! Swap out the ice cream for yoghurt or frozen yoghurt and sprinkle cinnamon and your favourite nut of choice on top!
