Isn’t the weather here in England lovely? Well nah I hate the heat BUT I am loving all the sunshine – so here’s some sunshine for your plate! This is a tropical twist on lemon meringue pie; crisp pastry filled with mango curd and topped with chewy meringue. I put lime juice in the curd for that beautiful tang to contrast with the sweetness of the meringue. So whether you’re having a big old BBQ or an al fresco dinner party be sure to put these on the menu! Click here for the recipe
I was in a bit of baking mood and thought I’d make some mini tarts. Since I was a child I’ve enjoyed Feast ice lollies with the crisp, cold piece of chocolate hidden in the middle and will never cease to love the mint version, so I decided to put it into tart form. The recipe is pretty simple (simple is always a good thing!) but the results are really tasty and would be fantastic on any occasion. Chilling the finished tarts is important as it not only enhances the minty freshness but it allows the filling to set (although if you can’t wait to try them – like me - I’m sure you won’t mind the filling spilling out and onto your hands!). The amout of pastry makes exactly 12 cases so you’ll have to re-roll the trimmings! Click here for the recipe
