HOT CROSS TIRAMISU

YOU’LL NEED: Three hot cross buns, 250ml double cream, 250g mascarpone cheese, 2 tbsp caster sugar, 2 tbsp of marsala ( sweet wine), 1 tbsp cocoa powder, 1 tbsp instant coffee and a chocolate flake. You’ll also need four dessert glasses.

WHAT TO DO: Slice each bun in half and each half into four long fingers. Dissolve coffee granules in 200ml hot water. Dip bun fingers in the coffee and set aside on a plate. Whisk cream and stir in cheese, sugar and marsala.

Assemble tiramisu. Start with one or two sponge fingers, then a layer of cream, then sponge, until you’ve used up all the ingredients. Top with a dusting of cocoa powder and crumbled flake.

VERDICT: The bun is denser than sponge fingers so they give the dish a bit of texture — and they go really nicely with the coffee. 8/10
