Instructions
For the Easy Hot Cross Bun & Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream
- Preheat the oven to 200C Gas 5.
- Break up the hot cross buns and place them into a food processor, blitz until you have a fine crumb. Tip into a bowl and stir through the brown sugar really well.
- Spread evenly onto a parchment-lined baking tray and bake in the oven until really crunchy and coloured, do not burn. You may have to stir them occasionally to get an even cook. Once cooked, remove and cool.
- Place the 300g caster sugar and water in a pan and bring to a boil. Once boiling, leave to boil for 5 minutes, bang on, no more, no less. [cooked-timer minutes="5"]Set timer for 5 Minutes[/cooked-timer]
- Place the egg yolks into a mixing bowl, and once the sugar and water have been boiling for 2 minutes, set the machine to medium speed.
- At 5 minutes, take the sugar and water off the stove, turn the machine up to full speed, and pour onto the egg yolks.
- Whisk until thick, foamy and cold. Remove the egg yolk mixture from the machine.
- Carefully fold through the lightly whipped cream.
- Then fold in the hot cross bun crumbs, then finally swirl through the raspberry puree, so you have a ripple effect, cover and freeze well.
For the Sauce
- Make the sauce by placing the butter, salt, sugar, treacle, spices and cream together into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Whisk well until you have a thick sauce.
- Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice and zest, vanilla extract and sultanas.
For the Hot Cross Bun Sandwich
- Slice the hot cross buns into 3 thin slices
- Brush with a little melted butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven until crisp.
- Sandwich with nice scoops of the ice cream.
- Spoon over a little of the sauce.
