GOOD FOOD KNOW-HOW

You can find brandy snap baskets in the biscuit section of most supermarkets. If you find some are broken when you open the pack, just lightly crush the rest and layer up in serving glasses with the raspberries and spoonfuls of lemony cream.

I was really looking forward to doing this recipe for a BBQ with about 15 guests - looked quick and easy enough to do between courses. The flavour was lovely, but the filling was far too runny (even after an hour in the fridge post-mixing) and just poured out of the holes in the baskets, so I'm glad…

So easy and went down a treat with my guests. I followed some previous advice and started off with the creme fraiche then added 1 tbsp of lemon curd at a time until I was happy with result. Don't assemble too early or the baskets will go soft. I will definitely make this again.

question

Would the flavours still work together if I used lime curd instead of lemon, please?

Hi there, thanks for your question, yes this would be nice using lime curd too! Happy cooking.

I did not like it. It was too lemony even though I had followed the advice given in comments to reduce the amount of lemon curd used. It tasted like lemony yoghurts you can get from suoermarkets to be honest. I thought the lemon and raspberries did not go together. Won't try it again I'm afraid.

Yummy!Very simple to make. Went down very well with my guests. Would possibley use less lemon curd next time, maybe a squeeze of lemon juice to make is less sweet but more lemony? Will definitely make again.
