Ingredients

6 total
  • 6 Morrisons The Best Extra Fruity Hot Cross Buns
  • 200g fresh custard
  • 100g dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 100g butter
  • 100g caster sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Method

4 steps

  1. Step 1

    Warm the custard in a pan. When it’s steaming, remove from the heat and add the chocolate, stirring until fully melted into the custard. Transfer to a piping bag and cool at room temperature, then chill until you’re ready to fill the doughnuts.

  2. Step 2

    When you’re ready to get cooking, heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Separate the buns and warm them in the oven for 3-5 mins. Meanwhile, melt the butter and pour into a bowl, then combine the sugar and cinnamon in a second bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Brush each warm bun in melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar. Poke a hole in the side of each bun with a skewer or small sharp knife, inserting it to the centre of the bun, but being careful not to break through the sides.

  4. Step 4

    Snip off the end of the piping bag, insert it into each bun and gently squeeze to fill them with chocolate custard.
