"Nobody loves a hot cross bun more than my mom, so I decided to use three elements she really likes – hot cross buns, cheesecake and marmalade – to make this treat.” – Khanya Mzongwana

Ingredients

For the cheesecake spread:
240 g cream cheese
½ cup cream
1 lemon, juiced
2 T icing sugar
For the hot cross buns:
125 g orange marmalade
4 T water
6 Woolworths traditional hot cross buns, halved

Cooking Instructions

1. Whisk all the cheesecake spread ingredients together in a bowl, and refrigerate until ready to use.

2. Place the marmalade and water in a saucepan and slowly heat, stirring continually, until thick and syrupy. Remove from the heat.

3. To serve, toast the hot cross buns in a dry pan. Smear the cheesecake spread onto the buns and drizzle with the marmalade syrup. Serve immediately.
