Method
Step 1
To make the avocado and salsa topping, top burger sauce bun bases with the avocado. Place the tomato, onion, coriander and lime juice in a bowl and gently stir to combine. Spoon salsa over the avocado to serve.
Step 2
To make the spiced butter stars, line a baking tray with baking paper. Place the butter, icing sugar mixture, cinnamon, ginger and orange rind in a bowl, and stir to combine. Spread the butter mixture in a 1.5cm-thick layer on the lined tray and place in the fridge to set. Use a cookie cutter or a knife to cut into stars and serve immediately with the brioche buns.
Step 3
To make the nutty maple butter, use an electric mixer to beat the butter for 5 mins, or until whipped. Beat in the syrup until combined, then fold through the pecans and chocolate. Spread the butter mixture over the chocolate buns to serve.
Step 4
To make the ricotta and chocolate topping, spread the chocolate buns with the ricotta. Sprinkle with the milk chocolate and drizzle with the chocolate topping to serve.
Step 5
To make the caramel mascarpone, spread the apple and cinnamon buns with the mascarpone. Drizzle with the caramel sauce to serve.
