Aldi’s Salted Caramel And Chocolate Hot Cross Bun Trifle Recipe.

Firstly, trifle anyone? So do you love making trifles at Easter And Christmas? We do, indeed!

Aldi has come up with this Salted Caramel and Chocolate Hot Cross Bun Trifle Recipe. I also bet this tastes amazing. At the same time as looking great too.

I actually got hold of some of there salted caramel hot crossed buns last night and just had one for breakfast. They along are so good!!

Ingredients:

• 150g Caster Sugar
• 60ml Water
• 90g Double Cream
• 30g Unsalted Butter
• ¼ tsp. Salt
• 1kg Ready to serve Custard
• 200g Dark Chocolate
• 2 packs of Salted Caramel & Chocolate Hot Cross Buns
• 75ml Amaretto (optional)
• 750ml Double Cream

Method:

How To Make:

1. Firstly, begin by making the caramel sauce, to do this place the sugar along with the water into a saucepan and heat on medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.
2. Then increase the temperature and cook bubbling for 5 minutes until the mixture has turned to a rich caramel colour.
3. Remove from the heat and then stir in the cream, butter and salt, when fully incorporated leave to cool.

Making The Custard:

• Next, make the chocolate custard. First, chop the chocolate into chunks and place into a heatproof bowl.
• Bring about an inch of water to a simmer in a saucepan. Place the heatproof bowl in the mouth of the pot, making sure the water doesn’t touch the bottom of the bowl. Stir occasionally until melted thoroughly.
• 6Heat the custard in a pan and stir the melted chocolate through the custard until combined and leave in the fridge to cool.
• Finally, whip the cream to soft peaks and keep in the fridge until needed.

To Make The Trifle:

1. To build the trifle slice the hot cross buns in half and lightly grill them.
2. Keep the top halves with the crosses to one side then cut the 6 bases into quarters and fill the base of the trifle dish with them.
3. Pour over half of the amaretto (optional), and then drizzle half of the caramel sauce on top of the hot cross buns.
4. Next, add half of the chocolate custard on top followed by half of the whipped cream.
5. Then arrange the 6 remaining halves of hot cross buns against the edges of the trifle dish making sure that the cross side is visible.
6. Drizzle the remaining amaretto over the buns (optional) and then drizzle most of the caramel sauce over the hot cross buns, hold back a couple of tablespoons of sauce for the topping.
7. Pour the rest of chocolate custard into the centre of the buns and then top with the remaining cream.

To Decorate:

Decorate the trifle with grated chocolate and drizzle over the caramel sauce. Last but not least, cut 1 hot cross bun into 3 small square pieces and add to the centre of the cream. So yummy.

Aldi’s Easter Chick Cupcakes.

Fourthly, adorable cupcakes. These are so sweet. I can see these on my dinner table now!! Of course, hard to only eat one I bet!!

Ingredients:

• 250g The Pantry Madeira Cake Mix
• 30ml Vegetable Oil
• 500g Unsalted Butter
• 300g Icing Sugar (plus extra for dusting)
• 50g Ready to Roll Icing
• 1 Lemon
• Red Food Colouring
• Yellow Food Colouring
• Green Food Colouring
• 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
• 1 packet of Dairyfine
• Mini Chocolate Eggs

Aldi’s Easter Chick Cupcakes.

Method:

1. Firstly, pre-heat the oven to 180°C. Line a cupcake tin with the paper cases.
2. Make half of the Madeira cake mix according to instructions on the pack (or double up the recipe, using the full 500g mix for more cupcakes). Add the zest of half the lemon and vanilla extract, then give the batter a final mix.
3. Add 1 heaped tbsp of batter to each cupcake case (filling roughly one-third of the case) and bake for 15 minutes. Allow to cool.
4. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter using an electric whisk to make the buttercream. Gradually add the icing sugar and keep mixing. Finish with the juice of half the lemon. Remove half the buttercream into another bowl. Gradually add green food colouring to one bowl and yellow to the other (one drop at a time) and mix until pastel shades are achieved. Add to piping bags with round nozzles, using small for the green and large for the yellow.
5. Pipe the green loosely and freely around the edge of the cupcake to resemble grass. Pipe the yellow in 2 stages to make the chick. First, make a large round base, then add a smaller round head. Set aside for 5-10 minutes to allow to dry a little. Place the ready to roll icing in a mixing bowl and knead together with a little yellow and red food colouring, mix until a pastel orange is achieved. Add more icing sugar if the mix is too wet.
6. Shape small pieces of the orange icing to form a beak and feet and add to each chick, then decorate with one or two mini chocolate eggs. So adorable.

Firstly, pre-heat the oven to 180°C/Gas Mark 4.

Making The Cakes:

1. Firstly, line the bottoms of the cake tins with non-stick baking parchment.
2. Break up the chocolate and chop the butter into small chunks. Put into a heatproof bowl along with the milk. Melt the mix over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Once melted, remove from the pan, then whisk in the soured cream, sugar and the vanilla essence.
3. Lightly whisk the eggs and stir into the mix. Sieve the flour and cocoa powder and beat into the mixture. Divide the mixture between the 3 tins and bake in the oven for 30 minutes until slightly risen and firm to the touch. Allow the cakes to cool in the tins. 

Make The White Cream Cheese Frosting:

• Break up the white chocolate and chop the butter into small cubes. Put into a heatproof bowl and melt over a pan of simmering water – make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Once melted, remove the bowl.
• Sieve the icing sugar and beat into the mix, along with the soft cheese. Allow to cool and thicken. Sandwich the 3 cakes together with the frosting.

To Make The Icing:

1. Break up the milk chocolate and melt in a heatproof dish over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
2. Sieve the icing sugar and cocoa powder together in a bowl and beat in the butter. Add the melted chocolate and the milk and beat well. Use this to ice the side and top of the cake. Put back in the fridge to set.

Drip:

• Break up the dark chocolate and melt as before over a bowl of simmering water. Pour some over the top of the cake and allow some to drip down the sides, then leave to cool. Decorate with your favourite Easter eggs and chocolate bunnies. So beautiful.
