StepintoSummer NEW RANGE

With springtime in full swing and the serious social season upon us, we’re delighted to roll out five stunning new desserts in time for Easter.

Inspired by the latest global trends and guaranteed to add sweet stardust to any menu, the five innovative desserts all have veritable visual vigour and showcase our special twists on some much-loved international classics.

Neapolitan Layer Gateau

Lemon and Blueberry Brûlée Tart

New Hummingbird Cake

A popular style of cake in the Caribbean and the southern United States since the 1970s, Hummingbird cake lets the tropical sweet side of summer sing. Our new take on this fruity, fan-favourite comprises a lightly spiced fluffy sponge made with banana and pineapple, which is then filled with a zesty cream cheese filling, finished with cream cheese frosting and topped with pecans.

Suitable for vegetarians and providing a slice of affordable luxury, it’s great served with a hot beverage, but why not go for the full holiday effect and pair with a pina colada or rum punch?

Pack Size: 1 x 16 Pre-portioned

New Neapolitan Layer Gateau

This nostalgic voyage down memory lane to the childhood classic trio of chocolate, strawberry and vanilla ice cream has been beautifully reimagined in a refined and indulgent dessert. Colourful and attentiongrabbing, layers of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry mousse sit on a chocolate satin sponge. A super sweet for summer, try with some fresh strawberries and even a scoop of ice cream.

Pack Size: 1 x 14 Pre-portioned

White Chocolate and Raspberry Tart

New White Chocolate And Raspberry Tart

An exceedingly indulgent and eye-catching sweet treat, this delightfully rich new tart seamlessly combines white chocolate ganache and raspberry compote within a crisp chocolate pastry case. Suitable for vegetarians, it’s perfect served with fresh raspberries and cream.

Hummingbird Cake

New Lemon And Blueberry Br L E Tart

With the world tik-toking to the beat of brûlées, we’ve jumped on the bandwagon and rolled out this ingenious new zesty tart, comprising a crisp, sweet pastry case filled with a smooth and tangy lemon custard mix, swirled with a fruity blueberry compote and a striking brûléed finish. Serve alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a fruity sorbet, or even cream and fresh fruit. Suitable for vegetarians.

Pack Size: 1 x 12 Pre-portioned

New Affogato Dessert

The epitome of affordable luxury, an affogato coffee dessert is widely revered and conjures up images of Italy’s famous café culture. We’ve taken these on-trend flavours and flipped them into a decadent dessert and it’s 100% vegan and gluten-free.

Starting with an espresso biscuit base, next comes a smooth vanilla mousse, topped with chocolate espresso mousse and finished with dark chocolate flake. For a special treat or occasion, serve with an espresso coffee and a shot of Amaretto. When in Rome!

Pack Size: 1 x 16 Pre-portioned

NATIONAL TEA DAY – 21ST APRIL

Hydrating, energising, refreshing, soothing and celebratory, tea has played – and continues to play - a momentous part in the social fabric of our lives. So, it’s time to put the kettle on and brew up some fresh ideas because National Tea Day takes place later this month.

It could be a selection of exotic teas for the day, a new tea and cake combo, a takeaway tea offering or an afternoon tea promotion. Whatever you have planned, don’t take any shortcuts when it comes to your tea leaves. Grown using leaves from one of the world’s first Rainforest Alliance Certified tea estates in Kenya, our Country Range one cup teabags will never let you down when it comes to providing a rich, fresh and full flavour cup by cup.

For those really looking to take the par-tea up a level, how about making these terrifically tasty Tea and Dark Chocolate Truffles, made using Country Range 70% Chocolate Drops, which have just won Best Baking Product in the Cash & Carry Management Chefs’ Own Brand Awards.
