Preheat your oven to 180ºc/160ºfan and grease a large ceramic/glass baking dish/tray. It should fit 6-8 hot cross buns sat next to each other (like in the pictures)
Halve your hot cross buns like you would to toast them, and put a few chunks of chocolate in the middle and sandwich again. I used a chocolate bar, and snapped the rows off and put a row in the middle of each bun.
Lay all your hot cross buns next to each other in the dish. Mine easily fit six, and then a 7th split in half on the ends - or as many as you need.
In a bowl, whisk together the milk, double cream, eggs, sugar and vanilla until combined.
Pour over the hot cross buns, and sprinkle over the chocolate chips.
Bake in the oven for 40 minutes, and then remove and leave to cool for 10 minutes before eating!
