time for ice cream to melt 10 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Dish lightly buttered, that will snuggly hold the hot cross buns

Ingredients

  • 6 Hot Cross Buns - stale or fresh, use shop-bought, or make your own, here's my recipe
  • 2 tbsp Marmalade
  • 1 tbsp Butter - vegan
  • 500ml Ice Cream - vanilla, plant-based
  • Orange - zest only

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180c
  • Slice the hot cross buns in half and spread each side with butter and marmalade. Sandwich them back together.
  • Fit them snuggly into your baking dish, it doesn't matter if you have to squish them a little, in fact it's preferable.
  • Sprinkle over orange zest.
  • Cover the hot cross buns with the ice cream and leave that to melt into the hot cross buns for 10 minutes or so.

Make-ahead option

  • At this point, you can cover with clingfilm and refrigerate overnight if you want to make ahead.

Bake

  • Once the ice cream has melted, place the pudding in the oven, and bake for about 10-15 minute, or until the edges of the buns are starting to turn toasty.
  • Remove from the oven and leave to stand for about 5 minutes, before serving.

Notes

Note that the hot cross buns are not included in the recipe calorie details. 
I suggest that you add the calorific content for one hot cross bun per person to the above recipe. 

Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
