Three spring desserts to welcome the new season

Spring is around the corner, and it's a call for celebration! Chef Anna Olson is getting in on the party with these three fresh and flavourful desserts inspired by spring. 

Tart lemon curd

The combination of ingredients makes a citrus curd unique. While eggs thicken the curd and give it its yellow colour, butter sets the curd once chilled and makes it smooth and rich tasting. This pucker-worthy version is sweet enough to spread on Anna's Classic English Scones, yet adds an assertive tartness to desserts like Anna's Lemon Crunch-&-Cream Tray Cake. 

Sugar cookies with sprinkles

These classic sugar cookies are guaranteed to brighten anyone’s day. They’re easy to make, and the colourful sprinkles provide a little crunch and a whole lot of joy. 

Pink lemonade eton mess 

Celebrate strawberry season with this stepped-up strawberries-and-cream dessert. Berries and shards of crisp, pink meringue are folded into Chantilly cream with swirls of tart lemon curd to add a little sparkle.
