Orange Curd Bakewell Blondie – A Dark Chocolate Twist on a Peak District Classic 🍊🍫

Sacrilege? Quite possibly. Delicious? Without question.

We've gone and moved the whole bakery into the Peak District, about fifteen minutes down the road from the actual town of Bakewell, and clearly decided the correct response was to start messing about with the tart that made the place famous. Sorry to the tea rooms on Rutland Square. This one's ours now.

Meet the Orange Curd Bakewell Blondie — the darker, moodier cousin of our best-selling Lemon Curd Bakewell Blondie. We start with a rich, buttery blondie batter studded with ground almonds, load it with Callebaut dark chocolate as the star ingredient, then sandwich it with a layer of silky, tangy orange curd.

Each blondie is finished with a drench of melted white chocolate, a scattering of toasted flaked almonds, and topped with a delicate air-dried orange wheel for that unmistakable (if slightly rebellious) Bakewell finish.

Handmade in small batches, this is a rich, citrusy, deeply chocolatey twist on a British classic that Bakewell purists will either love or quietly report to the parish council.

Why You'll Love It:

• Real Orange Curd Centre: Made with free-range eggs, sugar and orange juice for a bright, tangy layer that cuts straight through the dark chocolate.
• Dark Chocolate: Proper dark chocolate leads the recipe, giving a deeper, richer bite than our white chocolate blondies.
• Nutty Bakewell Base: Ground almonds baked into the batter for that authentic Bakewell flavour and texture in every bite.
• Handcrafted with Care: Baked by hand using an all-butter blondie batter, wrapped in melted white chocolate.
• Beautifully Finished: Topped with toasted flaked almonds and a delicate air-dried orange wheel — as gorgeous as it is delicious.
• Perfect for Gifting or Treating Yourself: A rich, citrusy twist on our Bakewell family, ready to post straight to your door.
