Treacle tart gets an Easter makeover in this impressive pud recipe. Here’s why it’s an Easter weekend winner…
- Flavour boost: This tart amps up the sweetness with hot cross bun crumbs enriching the filling, which is bright with zest, juice and some punchy spices.
- Simple and striking: Sharp crème fraîche on top cuts through the syrup wonderfully and looks great against the dark amber tart and blood orange segments.
- Easy swaps: Blood oranges are great when in season, but if you can’t get hold of them, any orange or even pink grapefruit will work well.

Chefs trim excess pastry from tarts using a Microplane grater – shaving away from the tart – as it gives great control and a smoother, more even edge, but a sharp knife works well too.
