Treacle Tart is one of Harry Potter’s favorite desserts – and now it can be yours, too! This easy pie recipe only needs 3 ingredients in the filling and is ready in no time flat!
What is Treacle Tart from Harry Potter?
It is often mentioned in the Harry Potter books and movies that Treacle Tart is one of Harry’s absolute favorite desserts.
A Treacle Tart is a pie made of only three ingredients – golden syrup, breadcrumbs, and lemon.
This easy dessert might sound really weird, but for some magical reason, it works.
Recipe Note:
Make sure you use really fine breadcrumbs when making this recipe – panko won’t work as well. I ended up having to use half panko and you can see in the photos have my filling has a rather grainy appearance. It doesn’t affect the taste at all, but it doesn’t feel or look as smooth as it should.
