Dessert

At the Farm Shop we don’t treat cooking as a precise science, nor are we trying to give a comprehensive list of recipes. These are some of our favourite dishes and we hope you’ll give some of them a try. They’ve worked for us on countless occasions but that doesn’t mean, with a bit of imagination and a few tweaks, they can’t be improved. Good luck.

Enjoy it as a light afternoon treat or a delicious dessert with a dusting of icing sugar.

Hot Cross Bun & Lemon Curd PuddingBy Ben WatsonUsing a good dollop of our lemon marmalade and lemon curd, this recipe will turn your excess of leftover hot cross buns into a delicious dessert this Easter.
Lemon Meringue PieBy Ben WatsonOur take on the traditional lemon meringue pie. A great way to use up a handful of lemons when you have a glut...just as we did when our friends La Montesina, based in Valencia had a bumper lemon harvest.
Plum FrangipaneBy Ben WatsonFrangipanes of various kinds have been my go-to dessert for years. Let’s face it; it sounds, and is, a bit more impressive than Bakewell tart. The frangipane is easy-peasy, and doesn’t change much and for the fruit – the choice is yours. And varying, all year round, seasonal frangipane is a distinct possibility because forced rhubarb works a treat – as does all the end of season pears, blackberries, damsons etc. Bottled, spiced plums are good but fresh, slightly underripe ones are just tart enough to keep it interesting. Using, and blitzing, a third, whole almonds adds a bit of texture. Homemade pastry is always best but if you’re feeling lazy, just go and buy some. It will still be good. The quantities below make a Watson sized, 26cm (approx. 3cm deep) tart but you can never have too much frangipane.
Hot Chocolate Pudding with Clotted CreamBy JasminThis will make enough for 2 smaller one if baked in standard-sized ramekins or a slightly larger one if baked in a larger bowl. It also doesn’t really need to be turned out, if you don’t want, as eating it straight from the dish is perfectly acceptable
Hot banana soufflé with caramel sauceBy JasminOk, I admit this may sound a little fancy but it's so easy you’ll be both shocked and impressed, as will your loved one. Made last minute and served with warmed caramel sauce, that you made earlier, with maybe a little scoop of ice cream.
