Ingredients

  • Melted butter, to grease

  • 3 3 hot cross buns

  • Raspberries, to serve

  • Chocolate mousse
  • 125 g 125 milk or dark chocolate, finely chopped

  • 300 ml 300 thickened cream

Method

  • To make chocolate mousse, put chocolate into a large heat-proof bowl. Pour 150ml of the cream into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until hot, not boiling. Pour over the chocolate, set aside for 5 minutes to allow chocolate to melt. Stir until smooth. Pour in remaining cream and then whisk until smooth and combined.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour or overnight until mixture sets.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 180C fan-forced. Grease 6 holes of a 12-hole muffin pan with melted butter.
  • Slice buns in half and place on a sheet of baking paper. Cover with a second sheet. Using a rolling pin, flatten buns to about 5mm thick.
  • Firmly press into prepared pan holes. Top each with a square of baking paper, then fill with baking weights or dried beans. Bake for 12 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
  • Spoon set mousse into tarlets, top with berries, then serve.
