If you’re on the lookout for wholesome, family-style desserts, you need to seek inspiration from the best sitcom family there is. We’re talking about the Schitts, of course! If you’re a fan of Moira, Johnny, Alexis and David’s many adventures in and around Schitt’s Creek, you can always think of desserts themed around the beloved family. Each member of the Schitt family and their friends are known for their individual quirks. The intriguing Moira has some lavish tastes, whereas Johnny is all for simpler, hearty flavours.
Alexis, on the other hand, is someone who can be indecisive but definitely still longs for the finer things. When it comes to Stevie, the motel’s owner, you’d have to think of a recipe that’s complex and yet airy and approachable, like a coffee-infused treat. Twyla, on the other hand, has a sunny disposition that can best be represented by tender, flaky lemon blueberry scones which add a cheerful twist and bursts of tangy lemon zest and juicy blueberries. If you want to make desserts themed around Schitt’s Creek characters, here’s an easy guide.
