Hot cross tiramisu

Step 1

Cut the hot cross buns in half horizontally, then cut each piece into 3 fingers. Pour the coffee into a shallow bowl.
Step 2

Dip a piece of hot cross bun into the coffee mixture, allowing excess liquid to drip back into the bowl. Place in a 5cm-deep, 28 x 18cm (base measurement) dish. Repeat with half of the remaining hot cross bun pieces, arranging to make a neat layer over the base of the dish. Use the back of a spoon to press lightly and even out
Step 3

Use electric beaters to beat the cream, mascarpone, sugar and marsala in a bowl until peaks form. Spread half the mixture over the hot cross buns in the dish. Repeat to make another layer of bun pieces and spread with a final layer of the cream mixture. Cover. Place in the fridge for 8 hours or overnight to chill.
Step 4

To decorate, cut long strips of cardboard to use as a stencil. Arrange over the surface to create a cross pattern. Dust with cocoa powder. Remove cardboard strips. Serve. Watch our step-by-step video below to see how to make this Hot cross tiramisu recipe.
