There's nothing quite as comforting as a classic mince pie during the Christmas season, but at BFP, we wanted to put a fresh spin on this tradition. Last week, our Business Development Manager, Andy C and Marketing Executive Demi, headed over to the team at Macphie to experiment with a reimagined version of the traditional mince pie. Inspired by current online baking trends and the growing popularity of indulgent hybrid desserts, we swapped the traditional fillings for a rich, fudgy brownie mixture making the Snowfall Brownie Pie.
Featuring a smooth, fudge brownie centre and finished with a shortbread snowflake cut-out, dusted with sweet snow for a festive touch. These Snowfall Brownie pies are a fabulous addition to your café counters and are also so simple to prepare with just a handful of ingredients to make yourself. A modern twist on a seasonal favourite, they offer your customers something familiar yet delightfully unexpected.
