Hot Cross Bun Ice Cream Sandwiches
Description
This straightforward dessert features hot cross buns, which are spiced sweet bread rolls traditionally eaten during Easter, sliced open and lightly toasted to bring out warmth and slight crispness on the cut sides. Vanilla ice cream is scooped onto the bottom halves, their coldness complementing the bun's warmth.
A drizzle of chocolate sauce adds a sweet, slightly bitter dimension to the flavor profile. The tops are placed over the ice cream to create a convenient sandwich format that can be held and eaten immediately.
The ice cream should be slightly softened before assembly to allow easy scooping and melting balance. Serving this dessert immediately prevents the buns from becoming soggy and maintains the contrast between textures and temperatures.
Ingredients
- 4 hot cross buns
- 4 coops vanilla ice cream
- 4 tablespoons chocolate sauce
Instructions
- Remove the ice cream from the freezer a few minutes before using to thaw slightly.
- Cut the hot cross buns in half and lightly toast them under the grill/broiler.
