Hot cross bun tiramisu

Ingredients

Method

Ingredients

  • 250ml cream
  • 3 Tbsp caster sugar 
  • ¼ cup Pic’s Smooth Peanut Butter  
  • 200g mascarpone, room temperature
  • 6 Hot Cross Buns
  • ¾ cup espresso or instant brewed coffee

Method

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the cream and caster sugar until the cream reaches soft peaks. Add the peanut butter and mascarpone, and fold into the cream until combined. 
  2. Slice the hot cross buns in thirds horizontally. Place the bottom pieces into six jars or glasses, then spoon a third of the coffee over the top. Spoon half of the cream mixture evenly amongst the six glasses. 
  3. Next, place the middle hot cross bun on top of the cream, spoon some coffee over the top, and layer the remaining cream. 
  4. Spoon coffee onto the underside of the hot cross bun lids, then place on top of the tiramisu. 
  5. Cover the tiramisus with cling film and refrigerate for an hour, then serve chilled. 

Top tips:

Finish this luxurious dessert with shaved or grated dark chocolate or cocoa powder for the perfect sweet-toothed touch.

For a sweet kid-friendly option, replace the coffee with hot chocolate powder mixed with water!

FAQs:
  • Can I use leftover or stale hot cross buns for this recipe?
    • Yes! We love to maximise leftovers and pouring the coffee over the stale hot cross buns will rejuvenate their moisture.
  • Do I have to chill the hot cross bun tiramisu?
    • Definitely not! If you prefer to eat them warm, they will still be just as tasty!
