    Chocolate Hot Cross Bun Pudding

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Indulge in this deliciously rich Chocolate Hot Cross Bun Pudding, a delightful twist on a classic Easter dessert.

    For me, Easter is a holiday that's all about celebrating with delicious food. From hot cross buns and chocolate eggs to roast lamb and ham, there's really no shortage of tasty treats to enjoy. I know that many families and groups of friends use this time to gather around the table to share a meal together, creating lasting memories and traditions. Whether you're baking Easter cookies with your kids or trying out a new recipe for the first time (such as this chocolate hot cross bun pudding), food plays a big part in the festivities. Easter is a time to indulge and enjoy the delicious flavors of the season.

    While the long weekend is very chocolate-heavy already, this chocolate hot cross bun pudding is still a must-bake dish when you're entertaining. This decadent treat is a twist on the classic bread and butter pudding, and is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth, if it hasn't been satisfied already. It is rich and decadent. The ultimate crowd pleaser! Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or some heavy cream for a truly indulgent experience.
