Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 160°C. Lightly grease an 8-cup (2L) ovenproof dish.
Step 2
Cut each hot cross bun into 1cm-thick slices lengthways. Spread 1 cut side of each slice with butter. Arrange some of the slices around the edge of the prepared dish. Add a layer of pear around the buns, overlapping slightly. Continue layering the bun slices and pear around the dish, finishing in the centre. Sprinkle with half the blackberries, pushing them in between the layers.
Step 3
Whisk the eggs, milk, cream and half the caster sugar in a large bowl. Strain through a fine sieve into a jug. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bun slices in the dish. Set aside for 15 mins to soak.
Step 4
Place the dish in a large roasting pan. Pour enough boiling water into the pan to come halfway up the side of the dish. Bake for 40-45 mins or until egg mixture is just set. Set aside for 5 mins to cool.
Step 5
Meanwhile, combine the remaining blackberries and the remaining caster sugar in a saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6 mins or until sugar dissolves and blackberries soften.
Step 6
Combine the brown sugar, extra cream and extra butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 mins or until the butter melts. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until the sauce thickens slightly. Cool slightly.
Step 7
Pour caramel sauce and blackberry mixture over the pudding to serve.
