Ingredients

10g butter

3 leftover hot cross buns (if doesn't matter if they are slightly stale)

298g can mandarin segments in juice

150g chocolate from Easter eggs

250ml full-fat milk

1 level tbsp caster sugar

Few drops vanilla extract

2 large eggs

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease the inside of an ovenproof dish with butter. Cut each hot cross bun into 4 slices.
2
Drain the mandarins (you can drink the juice). Put on a plate lined with double-thickness kitchen paper to absorb excess juice.
3
Arrange the bun slices in the dish, overlapping them and scattering the mandarins between them.
4
Break the chocolate into small pieces and put in a small pan with the milk and sugar. Stir over a low heat until warm but not hot, mixing in the chocolate. Leave to cool for 10 minutes.
5
Put the eggs and vanilla in a bowl, add the chocolate milk and whisk with a wire whisk until evenly blended.
6
Pour over the buns, pushing them down gently into the milk mixture. Leave them to soak up the liquid for 10 minutes.
7
Bake for 25-35 minutes.
