Picnic Recipes | 15 Scrumptious Sweet Treats

Sweet treats for picnics have to be portable, which rules out some of my favourite desserts such as pavlova, wobbly lemon tarts, and cakes covered in lots of buttercream icing. Ice cream is also off the cards unless you have a really good cooler and won’t be out for too long before it’s time to eat.

These 15 sweet treats are perfect for packing into a picnic hamper or coolbox.
