Lemon Creme Delight

-
If you are looking to make an easy and delicious dessert then this is definitely the one for you.

I wanted to use my homemade lemon curd in a dessert that was yummy but not too rich.  So I came up with this simple recipe.

These Lemon Creme Delights are made of delicious layers of biscuit crumb, lemon curd and lemon curd cream.  The bottom layer starts with a lovely buttery biscuit crumb, followed by a touch of lemon curd throughout the next layer and finally topped with the lemon curd cream and fresh berries.  Every spoonful is delicious as you can taste all the different layers of goodness.

It is an easy and fun dessert to make and serve at your next dinner party.

Ingredients

· ½ cup lemon curd (refer to recipe on blog)
· 1 cup thickened cream
· 35 grams butter
· 65 grams Marie biscuits
· Extra lemon curd for spreading in between the layers
· Fresh berries for decoration

Instructions

1. Place biscuits into a food processor and pulse until biscuits resemble crumbles. Add cooled down melted butter, set aside.

2. Place thickened cream into bowl and beat until stiff peaks form and fold in the lemon curd.

3. Place a few teaspoons of biscuit crumb at the bottom of each glass, spoon small amounts of the lemon curd and pipe the cream over. Finally, sprinkle some biscuit crumbs over the cream. Repeat this step for as many layers as you like.

4. Garnish with some fresh berries to serve.

Tips

· This recipe makes enough to fill 4 glasses but it all depends on how much mixture is placed in each glass and the size of the glasses.

    Coffee Kisses

    I made these coffee biscuits awhile ago and thought I would make them again and share this recipe with you.  I'm sure there are many coffee lovers out there. These coffee kisses smell amazing when they are baking in the oven.  The aroma of the coffee biscuits coming out of the oven smells like an Italian cafe. I must say these coffee biscuits are more of an grown up biscuits.  They taste like a shortbread with a hint of coffee and they smell just like coffee. I would recommend making these biscuits when the weather is a bit warmer as the mixture can be a bit firm and hard to pipe out of the piping bag on a cold day.

    Viennese Biscuits

    These Viennese biscuits are often found at bakeries and cafes.  I have often made them by just piping them into round biscuits.  This time I thought I would make the traditional looking Viennese finger biscuits with the ends dipped in chocolate. These buttery melt-in-your-mouth biscuits are so delicious.  They taste even better when the ends of the biscuits are dipped in chocolate and sprinkles added.  You can also sandwich two biscuits together with jam and buttercream. I recommend that you make these biscuits in warmer weather or make sure the butter is at room temperature and quite soft.  This helps to make the mixture easier to pipe onto the baking trays. Happy Baking xo Viennese Biscuits Ingredients · 220 grams butter · ½ cup icing sugar · 1 tablespoon cornflour · 1 cup plain flour · ½ cup self-raising flour Decorations · Sprinkles · Dark chocolate Instructions 1.

    Mini Yo-Yos (Melting Moments)

    I thought I would share with you all, one of my signature bakes.  The traditional melt-in-the-mouth biscuit known as Yo-Yos.  Yo-Yos are made with custard powder and often people refer to them as Melting Moments.  However, the only difference is that melting moments are made with cornflour instead of custard powder. These biscuits are loved by all as they melt-in-your mouth and they taste so good with the lemony buttercream in the centre.  I love this recipe as it's easy and you can fill the biscuits with any filling you like or you can just eat the biscuits unfilled. If you haven't noticed I like to bake products in mini form or bite size.  I find that everyone loves mini desserts or treats.  You can make 16 full sized Yo-Yos or 32 mini ones. Hope you bake this classic traditional biscuits soon as everyone will love them.  This is a favourite amongst my family and friends.
