Lemon creams are out, festive Nectarine Creams are in! Ginger biscuits filled with refined sugar-free nectarine jam & thyme cream cheese.
A refined-sugar free Nectarine jam using nectarines and honey is the “cherry on top” or should we say filling to your sandwich in these biscuit bites. A sweet, tangy nectarine flavoured with a lemon & thyme cream cheese squished between delicious ginger biscuits. A perfect bite-size snack for your Summer or Christmas picnic.

Additional Notes
What if I don’t like or have Nectarines?
Substitute the Nectarines for peaches, plums or apricots.
Can I make this vegan?
To make these vegan, you will need to find Vegan-friendly biscuits, dairy-free cream cheese, and remove the honey from the jam. Substitute the honey with maple syrup or maple-flavoured syrup, or agave syrup.
What if I don’t like ginger biscuits?
The ginger biscuit flavour pairs amazingly with the jam and thyme cream cheese, but you are welcome to use other biscuits that you love, like shortbread biscuits.
What if I don’t like white chocolate?
You can leave out the white chocolate dip, or use dark chocolate instead.
