Zesty Summer Vibes 🍋
As Summer approaches, we look for sunny days, refreshing drinks and lounging around in our jandles (Or crocs, or birks, or bare feet). BUT there’s really no better way to celebrate the season than with the bright, refreshing taste of lemon. Its tangy notes offer a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, bringing vibrance to deserts that customers crave during the warmer months.
Lemon Rolle
Our Lemon Rollè is a light, airy sponge rolled with a creamy lemon filling that offers a delicious balance of sweet and tart. Its fluffy texture and refreshing flavour make it an ideal option for summer catering and dessert tables.
Serving Suggestion: For a touch of elegance, serve sliced Lemon Rollè with a dollop of whipped cream and a garnish of fresh mint or edible flowers. Plating with seasonal berries or a dusting of powdered sugar gives a beautiful pop of colour, enhancing its presentation.
Mini Lemon Tarts
Our Lemon Mini Tarts bring the classic taste of lemon into a perfect bite-sized treat. With a rich, buttery crust and zesty lemon filling, they’re easy to serve and satisfyingly tangy.
Serving Suggestion: Enhance the mini tarts with a light Brûlée top for a crackly texture and golden colour. Or, offer a “deconstructed” version with the tart served alongside fresh berry compote, giving guests a delightful mix of flavours and textures. Miniature meringues or a sprinkle of zest add to their appeal as vibrant single-serve desserts.
Lemon Meringue Pie
A timeless favourite, our Lemon Meringue Pie combines a velvety lemon filling with a lightly toasted meringue top that’s irresistible. This classic dessert is perfect for summer gatherings, offering a balance of smooth lemon cream and fluffy meringue.
Serving Suggestion: For a twist, serve the pie slices with a drizzle of raspberry coulis or a side of berry sorbet. Plating with lemon curls and microgreens or basil leaves adds a touch of colour and elevates its aesthetic appeal, making it ideal for upscale catering presentations.
Large Lemon Tart
Our Large Lemon Tart is a stunning centrepiece dessert that combines buttery pastry with a luscious, tangy lemon filling. This classic dessert is as delicious as it is visually appealing, making it a crowd-pleaser for any event.
Serving Suggestion: Top the tart with thinly sliced candied lemons or a scatter of fresh berries for added flavour and visual appeal. For an indulgent finish, accompany each slice with a small scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a dollop of lemon-infused mascarpone.
