Mocha Hot Cross Bun Tiramisu Recipe

Introduction

This tiramisu brings together the familiar comfort of Hot Cross Buns with the bold flavour of coffee and cocoa. The buns soak up a simple mix of espresso and Kahlua while a smooth mascarpone and cream filling sits between the layers. Once dusted with cocoa and left to chill it turns into a rich Easter dessert with a deeper mocha twist. It is easy to build and even easier to go back for another spoonful.

Ingredients

Method

1
Using a bread knife slice the Hot Cross Buns in half horizontally. Mix the espresso coffee and Kahlua (optional) make together in a small bowl and place aside
2
Place the mascarpone, cream and icing sugar into a large bowl and whisk until soft peaks form
3
Line the base of a baking dish with the bottom halves of the Hot Cross Buns and pour over half of the espresso coffee mix
4

5
Dip the top of the buns into the remaining espresso coffee mix and place on top of the Mascarpone mix. Using a sieve dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder
