Introduction
To share
The poppy lemon fondant squares are small tangy and melt-in-your-mouth bites. Poppy and lemon go together wonderfully. The squares are made from a base of poppyseed shortcrust pastry, lemon curd and sprinkled with icing sugar. These are sweets that are prepared the day before.
1 portion corresponds to approximately 30 poppy lemon fondant squares.
The extra thing:
- You can replace the lemon with yuzu juice.
- Serve as a snack or a gourmet coffee.
