One of those instances came this week, when one of her former chefs, Darren McGrady, revealed that a viral breakfast recipe<\/a> trending on social media had been one of the late Queen\u2019s favourites. The breakfast in question is the two-ingredient Japanese \u201ccheesecake\u201d, which saw people around the world dipping Biscoff biscuits in yoghurt pots and leaving them in the fridge or freezer for a healthy breakfast or dessert the day after.<\/p>\n

Mr McGrady revealed that the late Queen would favour a more elaborate version of the recipe, which features cream and whisky and would regularly have it for dessert.<\/p>\n

He wrote under his video on YouTube, where he revealed the whole recipe: \u201cWhen I saw the latest viral dessert on social media, I thought, ‘That’s not new! The Queen was eating that over 30 years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m sure you have seen all over TikTok<\/a>, Instagram<\/a> and Facebook the viral Japanese cheesecake with Greek yoghurt and Biscoff cookies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell when I was at Buckingham Palace, I used to prepare a very similar dish that used ginger biscuits. This is probably one of my easiest recipes to prepare, but it was always served at the royal table.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former royal chef said in the video: \u201cAt Buckingham Palace, we’d often serve this dish called gingernut cream and the chefs loved to serve it, the Queen loved ordering it and loved eating it!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of those instances came this week, when one of her former chefs, Darren McGrady, revealed that a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":194220,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[77445,9,24,63,1315,77443,77441,1312,77444,76386,76387,62637,77442,122,124,123,486],"class_list":["post-194219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-food-section","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queen-elizabeth","tag-queen-elizabeth-dessert","tag-queen-elizabeth-food","tag-queen-elizabeth-ii","tag-queen-elizabeth-japanese-cheesecake","tag-queen-elizabeth-latest","tag-queen-elizabeth-latest-news","tag-queen-elizabeth-news","tag-queen-elizabeth-recipe","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news","tag-royal-family"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=194219"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194219\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/194220"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=194219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=194219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=194219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
