While Easter is Dear Utol (2025): Pa-Yummy si Ma'am Episode 37a religious occasion, for most of us it's about an avalanche of sugary treats. But while chocolate rabbits and Easter eggs are the traditional go-tos, one innovative team has created a new kind of Frankenfection.
Fusing Easter's traditional hot cross bun with an ice cream cone, Giapo's R&D Kitchen in Auckland has created the "Hot Cross Bun Cone."
Spiced sweet buns topped with a cross to reference the crucifixion of Jesus, hot cross buns are a traditional Easter food to mark the end of Lent — they're mostly eaten on Good Friday, but some folks eat them all Easter long. While they're not super prevalent in the U.S., you'll find many folks eating them in New Zealand, Australia, the UK, Canada and South Africa.
For the Hot Cross Bun Cone, a warmed bun is sliced in half and fit around a waffle cone, which is then filled with "Hot Cross Bun" ice cream. They'll set you back a cool NZ$17 ($12), which is pretty hefty for an ice cream but look at it.
Giapo's PR director Annarosa Petrucci took Mashable through the making of the bun, which is made with moist raisins that have been soaked in orange juice. The dough contains cinnamon, cloves and mixed spice, along with the classic ingredient: candied orange peel.
The Hot Cross Bun Cone is only available over Easter at Giapo, 12 Gore Street, Auckland. Could be worth the flight, for that level of delicious innovation — or try and make your own version at home?
