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.
