DEEP Almond Butter Caramel Hot Cross Bun Pudding
3 tbsp DEEP Almond Butter Caramel, lightly warmed
4 hot cross buns (ideally stale or cut and left to dry out overnight)
2 cups milk
1/2 tsp sweet cinnamon
3 eggs
3 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp Madagascan vanilla extract
Brush a baking dish with butter. Set aside.
Add milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla into a large bowl, and whisk until the sugar dissolves. Place the hot cross bun pieces into the baking dish and pour over the custard mixture. Don’t overfill - pour over just enough to soak the bun pieces. Press down, then spread on the warmed caramel
Bake at 170ºC or 150º fan for 1 hour. .A toothpick or skewer inserted into the pudding will come out clean once it’s cooked. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
Optional: Make a milky custard with the leftover mixture by whisking continuously on low heat until thickened.
