Baking Frozen Chocolate Buns
Ingredients (if needed for reference)
-
Frozen chocolate buns (store-bought or homemade)
-
Optional: Egg wash (1 egg + 1 tbsp water or milk) for a shiny top
Method
-
Preheat the Oven
-
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
-
Don’t preheat too high or the outside will burn while the inside is still frozen.
-
-
Prepare the Buns
-
Take the frozen chocolate buns straight from the freezer.
-
You don’t need to thaw them; they can go in the oven frozen.
-
Optional: Brush the tops with egg wash for a golden, glossy finish.
-
-
Baking
-
Place the buns on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake for 15–25 minutes.
-
Check at 15 minutes: They should be warmed through, soft, and lightly golden on top.
-
If they need more time, continue baking in 2–3 minute increments.
-
-
-
Check for Doneness
-
The buns should feel soft and springy.
-
If you like a slightly crisp top, bake a few minutes longer.
-
-
Cooling
-
Let them cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack.
-
Serve warm for best taste—the chocolate inside will be melty and delicious.

💡 Tips:
-
For an extra indulgent touch, sprinkle a bit of powdered sugar or drizzle chocolate sauce on top before serving.
-
Avoid microwaving frozen buns—they can become dense or rubbery.
