Upgrade your Easter dessert game with these quick and easy hot cross bun custard rolls. No baking required - simply chill for 4 hours. Use Coles Finest Luxurious Fruit Hot Cross Buns for an extra juicy and spicy twist. Drizzle with our simple 3-ingredient caramel for added sweetness. Enjoy this delicious twist on a classic treat!
Ingredients:
  • 70g (1/2 cup) custard powder
  • 750ml (3 cups) milk
  • 70g (1/3 cup) caster sugar
  • 4.40 gm vanilla extract
  • 2 x 320g pkts Luxurious Fruit Hot Cross Buns
  • Caramel spread or sauce, to serve
  • Icing sugar, to dust
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan, combine custard powder with a splash of milk, stirring until smooth. Gradually mix in the rest of the milk. Add caster sugar and vanilla, stirring until fully combined.
  • Place pan over gentle heat. Stir continuously for 4-5 minutes until mixture boils. Stir for another minute until slightly thickened. Transfer to a heatproof bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge. Whisk after 1 hour and chill for an additional 2 hours.
  • Remove the 4 hot cross buns from their packet, ensuring they remain attached. Cut all 4 buns horizontally, leaving one edge intact. Gently open and flip them over to create 8 bun halves with the cut side down. Slice off 2 bun bases from one end together and set aside. Flip the 6 bun halves over, cut-side facing up, and use a rolling pin to flatten them evenly. Roll the cut side of the piece with 2 bun bases until even.
  • Make a large rectangle with 2 large bun pieces and 2 small bun pieces. Place the large bun pieces vertically on a 40cm-long piece of baking paper, cut-side up, with their long sides touching. Add the small bun pieces to the top of each large piece to complete the rectangle.
  • Spread the custard over the buns, leaving a 2cm border at the top. Roll up the buns starting from the bottom, using the paper to help form a log. Place the log on a baking tray and refrigerate for 2 hours to firm up.
  • Move the custard roll onto a serving board or plate and generously drizzle with caramel spread or sauce. Sprinkle with icing sugar and slice before serving.
