Don't you just hate that instant feeling of regret when leaving a shop empty handed, not having bought the something you know deep down that you longed for? I know I do and was stupidly this foolish last week when deciding against buying M&S's NEW Lemon & White Chocolate Tart - Lord knows what I was thinking!
Never one to make the same mistake twice and like a woman on a mission, I frogmarched myself to the stores bakery section today, whacked one in a baggy and paid my £1 at the till. Given my all round excitement, I kind of forgot to take note of any other detail regarding the product so I have no description whatsoever and it may be suitable for vegetarians, it may not.. Who is to say!?
The tart cut in half with ease to reveal a sneaky hidden curd layer beneath a ooey-gooey sticky filling which both looked and smelt a treat. Crumbly and buttery, the pastry itself was perfection with a short texture and not all to dissimilar to a shortbread biscuit really! Undeniably lemon-y but without a super zesty kick (No where near as potent as the Lemon Muffins for reference), the citrus tones came across well, pairing with the silky smooth and rich, condensed milk like, white chocolate "ganache" mixture above - Strangely however, the left half possessed fair more flavour akin to actual white chocolate than the right! All the elements went well together to produce one very tasty, pleasantly sweet and indulgent tart that I could have quite easily eaten another of!
So now my regret has progressed to the "I wish I had bought 12 more" stage - This NEW Lemon & White Chocolate Tart is oh so good and makes for a decently sized treat to have with a cuppa! The only fault I can find with it, not that I am particularly fussed but I can understand why some might be, is the fact that the citrus aspect isn't lip puckering or likely to keel anyone over.. But since, it isn't wishy-washy either, this really is just being pernickety - It's a 4.5 out of 5 from me!
You should try their new mini bags of lemon, poppyseed and yoghurt popcorn. They're so amazing- my new obsession.
ReplyDeleteOo I haven't seen these but will defo keep my eyes peeled! Thanks for the heads up :D xx
DeleteThis sounds heavenly!! I only question why you didn't purchase immediately haha xxx
ReplyDeleteWell beside from being a total twit obvs, I opted for the dulce de leche eclairs instead last week haha. They were tasty.. but this was JJ worthy! Xx
DeleteThese tarts are delicious, even better than the fab lemon tarts from Costa coffee!!! And half the price. Just want more 😂😂
ReplyDeleteDo you have a recipe for a tart like this ?
ReplyDeleteI'm Swiss and when I cam to London I often ate lemon tarts at costa coffee, it was delicious !
I would like to cook at home but I can't find any recipe...
Do you have a bigger one
ReplyDeleteLove it best lemon tart I've ever tasted
ReplyDeleteOmg these are truly irristable and the best ever tart I’ve tasted. Every time I pop into M&S it’s a real treat for myself. Just wish I could get mini pop in your mouth ones for parties. Yes please M&S go ahead and do it.
ReplyDeleteI have been having one of these with a MacDonald's large cappuccino. have you added the calories up? its more than I should eat in a day currently
ReplyDeleteCo-Op irresistible has one which seems identical (and its labelled vegetarian)
ReplyDeleteSince COVID they no longer do these 😢 luckily I found something very similar in Waitrose.
ReplyDeleteYes I also love the ones at Waitrose! Just back from a UK visit and brought some with me. yummie!
