For a traditional Easter dessert, you can’t go past the tried and true Hot Cross Bun as a family favourite. Other stand-outs include anything celebrating chocolate (like our delicious Hot Cross Bun Pudding recipe), as well as the humble carrot cake, which brings a perfect balance of spice and sweetness to your Easter spread. Whether you’re gathering for a big family meal or enjoying a quiet afternoon, these classic treats are the perfect way to enjoy the season.

Chocolate pudding is typically made from a combination of milk, sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and eggs. It’s cooked on the stovetop until it thickens into a smooth, creamy texture. Our twist on this indulgent dessert is even better, adding Hot Cross Buns and mini eggs to the mix for a rich Easter dessert treat.

Yes, pudding is generally thicker than custard as it uses cornstarch or other thickeners. Custard relies on eggs to achieve its smooth, silky texture, while pudding’s thicker consistency comes from starch. As a result, pudding tends to have a firmer, more set texture compared to the more fluid custard.
