Queen Elizabeth had many sweet indulgences, according to former royal chefs. One such example was a classic treacle tart. How do you make a treacle tart fit for the Royal Family?
Former royal chef Des Sweeney appeared on the programme ‘A Royal Guide to Property’ on Saturday.
Mr Sweeney outlined a “particular favourite” dessert of Queen Elizabeth’s which he would bake for the monarch at her royal palaces.
He said: “The world’s easiest pudding – this was also the Queen Mother’s favourite.”
Mr Sweeney revealed how to make the Queen’s “favourite” treacle tart, plus a cheat way to save time making the pastry.

“It’s good, we know it’s good, it’s always going to be good.”
Mr Sweeney continued: “What we do then is just pop those in the oven for 20 minutes – job done. The world’s easiest dessert!
“Once it’s cooked, place the tart on a plate and serve with Sauce Anglaise – that’s fancy talk for custard.
“Add some Raspberry Coulis and voila!”
The chef proceeded to add a raspberry in the centre and dust with icing sugar for the perfect decorations.
