Hot Cross Bun Bread Pudding
Chef's Menu Description
A moist, comforting sponge pudding steamed or baked to perfection, drenched in warm pouring syrup or rich toffee sauce.
Ingredients
- • low-calorie cooking spray
- • 2 hot cross buns ((approx. 75g each))
- • 350 ml unsweetened almond milk
- • 2 medium eggs
- • 1 tsp finely grated orange zest
- • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- • 2-3 tbsp granulated sweetener
Preparation Steps
1
Phase 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan. Spray the ovenproof dish with low-calorie cooking spray.
2
Phase 2
Cut the hot cross bun into 1cm slices, from top to bottom (you should get around 8 from each bun). Arrange the slices in the bottom of the ovenproof dish.
3
Phase 3
Beat the eggs into the almond milk. Add the orange zest, nutmeg, and sweetener. Stir until the sweetener has dissolved.
4
Phase 4
Pour the egg mixture over the hot cross bun slices, and let it stand for 10 minutes — so the hot cross buns can absorb the liquid.

Phase 5
Place on a baking tray, and cook in the centre of the oven for 30 minutes — until the custard has set and the top is golden. Serve!
