Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag is a brilliant blend of dark humour, a rush of emotions, and raw honesty. Be it the character’s witty one-line sarcastic comments or her utterly complex relationships, the British comedy series is one of the highly appreciated stories. If you are a fellow Fleabag fan, there will be a time when you’ll want to sit back and rewatch the entire series.
But when the show is this good, how can you justify reliving the stories with a tub of popcorn and a can of soda? The best way to travel down memory lane with Fleabag would be to make themed desserts to make the most of your binge-watch session. Here are some Fleabag-inspired desserts you can try while rewatching the series.
Hot Mess Chocolate Lava Cake
Just the Fleabag’s life is like a hot mess; nothing can match it better than a chocolate lava cake. Somewhat like the character whose emotions are always on the brim, you can make the cake with oozing molten chocolate. To make the experience more indulgent, you can pair the lava cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Claire’s Overly Sweet Cupcakes
Claire is one of the sweetest characters in the series. The character truly lives up to the “perfect older sister” of Fleabag. If you had to match a dessert to the personality of the character, a sweet batch of cupcakes topped with colourful creams would be just perfect. You can also bake different flavours for each of your watch-time buddies and have a gala time.
Priest’s Humble Vanilla Cake
Nobody understood Fleabag the way the Priest did. To make a dessert that’s just like the simple, comforting, and humble character, you can go for the classic vanilla cake. Just the way the grounded Priest stole the show, your freshly baked fluffy vanilla sponge cake can melt everyone’s heart while rewatching the series.
Healing Lemon Curd Tart
As the popular saying goes, “When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.” Just as Fleabag is set on a healing journey to find some hope, a lemon curd tart will do justice to the theme of the series. The sweet tart with a subtle hint of tartness; you can pair the lemon curd tart with some whipped cream.
Hamster-Inspired Carrot Cake
In the British series, Fleabag’s cosy cafe was inspired by a guinea pig. Plus, Fleabag’s pet hamster, Hilary, too deserves an inspired dessert of its own. In the name of the guinea pig, you can bake a soft carrot cake and decorate it with orange-coloured icing resembling Fleabag’s beloved pet.
