Easter is the perfect time to indulge in sweet treats — and what better way to do just that than with a homemade hot cross bun dessert? This Raspberry and White Chocolate Hot Cross Bun Pudding recipe is sure to hit all the right spots with its combination of fluffy hot cross buns, creamy white chocolate sauce, and naturally sweet raspberries. It’s incredibly easy to put together, so you don’t have to stress about coming up with a delicious treat on the day that you celebrate with your family and friends.


Here are the ingredients you need:

1. Five hot cross buns, split
2. 40g of butter, softened
3. 85g of raspberry jam
4. 125g of fresh raspberries or frozen raspberries
5. 100g of white chocolate, coarsely chopped
6. Six eggs, lightly whisked
7. A cup of milk
8. Half a cup of thickened cream
9. One-third a cup of caster sugar



Start by preheating your oven to 160C and lightly greasing an ovenproof dish. Then, spread some butter and raspberry jam on each of your half-split hot cross buns. Carefully place them in the prepared dish, ensuring that the jam-side and cross-sides are up. Sprinkle a generous amount of fresh raspberries and white chocolate on top.

After that, whisk the eggs, milk, cream, and sugar in a large bowl. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a jug. Proceed by pouring the mixture evenly over the buns. Set it aside for 15 minutes to soak.

Place your dish in a large roasting pan and pour enough boiling water into the pan until it comes halfway up the side of your dish. Pop it in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until the custard is just set. Once done, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Gather your friends or family to celebrate the Easter season with this delicious dessert that we’re sure everyone will love. Enjoy!
