I suspect someone at Mr Kipling is missing mince pies from Christmas, just like I am. The difference is, they’re probably missing the sales, whereas I just miss the taste! Either way, they’ve released a few ‘pies’, though they call them tarts, to tide us over. We previously tried the rather lovely Birthday Cake edition, and now we have these: Mr Kipling Strawberry and Cream Tarts. They certainly sound more suited to summer, but I was still keen to give them a try.
Inside the box, the Strawberry and Cream Tarts looked delightful, topped with pink icing and sprinkles. They had the same cheerful, celebratory feel as the Birthday Cake edition. Flavour-wise, they’re really enjoyable, nicely balanced, not overly sweet, with the jam standing out beautifully against the buttery pastry. The jam layer is the real highlight, and while they’re a lovely treat now, I can’t help but think they’d be even more perfect in the sunshine.
