Ingredients

Servings

For the ice cream

  • 2 hot cross buns
  • 600 ml double cream 20 fl oz
  • 250 g ricotta cheese 9oz
  • 300 g sour cream 10 1/2 oz
  • 400 g sweetened condensed milk 14oz tin
  • 1 tbsp vanilla paste
  • saffron ground to a powder, small pinch

To serve

  • hot cross buns
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • caramel sauce or chocolate sauce

Instructions

  1. Cut the hot cross buns into small chunks and spread on a tray. Place under a preheated grill (broiler) for 3 minutes, watching them closely so that they don’t burn.
  2. Cool, then blitz into breadcrumbs in a food processor. Set aside.
  3. Whisk the double cream until you have firm peaks.
  4. Whisk the ricotta, sour cream, condensed milk, vanilla and saffron together using a hand mixer. Make sure everything is well combined but don’t over mix.
  5. Fold in the whipped cream and half the breadcrumbs and transfer to a loaf tin.
  6. Spread the remaining breadcrumbs over the top. Cover and freeze for 5 hours or overnight.
  7. When ready to serve, take the ice cream out of the freezer for 20 minutes so that softens a little.
  8. Cut the hot cross buns in half and spread with a little butter toast in a preheated waffle maker until crisp and golden (or simply toast in a toaster).
  9. Place a scoop of the ice cream onto each toasted base and drizzle with caramel sauce. Add the hot cross bun lid and serve immediately.

Notes

  • The saffron will add colour and flavour to the ice cream but if you like you can replace with 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon instead
