Afternoon Tea Week may be coming to an end, but Asda’s sweet treats are here to stay! The supermarket chain has a fantastic range of delicious options available, with prices starting from just £1.19. We sampled several of these offerings and were pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste, particularly one standout item.
First on our list were Asda’s Extra Special Fruit Tartlets. These delightful treats, available in a pack of four for £3, are crafted with all-butter pastry and filled with a zesty Sicilian lemon cream and smooth crème patisserie. Topped with sweet strawberries and juicy blueberries, the tartlets deliver a delightful balance of tangy and sweet. The lemon flavor is noticeable, providing the right amount of sharpness without overpowering the overall taste.
Next, we tried the Extra Special Tarte Au Citron (£4.75). This is another zesty delight, featuring an all-butter pastry base and a layer of white chocolate. The star of the show is the zingy lemon custard made with free-range eggs and British cream. It’s a truly decadent treat that is sure to impress your guests.
For a touch of French inspiration, we sampled the Toffee Meringues from The Bakery by Asda (£2 for two). These meringues, dipped in a chocolate-flavored coating and filled with a toffee cream, are a sweet and satisfying treat that truly looks and tastes like they cost more. They’ll be a welcome addition to your tea stand.
However, the creme-de-la-creme of Asda’s Afternoon Tea selection is The Bakery at Asda’s Jam and Cream Scones (£2 for a two-pack). These are the perfect choice for anyone wanting to celebrate the occasion with a traditional cream tea. Each scone is pre-filled with sweet strawberry jam and fresh British cream, finished with a dusting of icing sugar. The cream is generously applied, ensuring that every bite is a delightful combination of sweet and creamy. It’s truly a standout item in Asda’s Afternoon Tea range.
Other noteworthy options include Asda’s Extra Special Macarons (£1.75 pack of four), Asda’s Extra Special Morello Cherry and White Chocolate Cheesecake (£5), and Asda’s Lemon Cheesecake (£4.50). These are all delicious additions to your Afternoon Tea spread, showcasing Asda’s commitment to providing high-quality and affordable treats.
