Ingredients
180g pack Asda Dark Chocolate Mint Thins
75ml double cream
25g unsalted butter
25g golden syrup
4 Asda Extra Special Triple Chocolate Hot Cross Buns
8 scoops Asda Really Creamy Mint Choc Chip Ice Cream, slightly softened
Method
1
To make the mint chocolate sauce, break the mint thins in half into a small heatproof bowl then add the remaining ingredients. Place the bowl on top of a small saucepan of just simmering water, making sure the base of the bowl doesn’t touch the water, and stir regularly until melted and glossy, about 5–6 mins. Set aside; if it starts to firm up too much you can return the bowl to the pan of water until loosened.
2
Use a sharp bread knife to cut each hot cross bun in half horizontally. Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat then add the bun halves to the pan, cut-side down, and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 2 mins. Keep an eye on them to make sure the chocolate chunks don’t burn, then set aside. You’ll need to do this in batches.
3
Divide the bottoms of the buns between 4 plates then top each with 2 scoops of ice cream and drizzle over 1 tbsp of the chocolate sauce before adding the tops of the hot cross buns.
