I don’t know about you guys but I’m stuck at home at the moment and although I’m always busy working on something I’ve found myself back in the kitchen more than usual. These puddings are heaven sent, especially at the moment when everyone has hot cross buns lying around. Feel free to use brioche or croissants instead and the pears could be swapped out for apples, berries or bananas. Use milk chocolate if you prefer. Serve warm with extra cream, any time of the day.
This recipe is so versatile, you can make them in ramekins or little oven proof mugs. Feel free to use brioche or croissants instead of the buns and the pears could be swapped out for apples, berries or bananas. Use milk chocolate if you prefer. Serve warm with extra cream, any time of the day.
