Dessert

Banoffee with a tropical twist

Banana slices, caramel, toasted coconut, whipped cream and shaved chocolate in glass

No crust as this dessert isn’t a pie. Instead of digestive biscuits, you have toasted coconut flakes. You serve the banoffee in wineglasses to expose the beautiful layers of banana slices, salted caramel and cream.

Coconut and lychee sorbet

The meat from two young coconuts and a can of lychee went into this coconut and lychee sorbet. Dairy-free but it scoops like ice cream. A lovely summer snack or dessert.

Crepes with apples and salted dulce de leche

There are three stages in making this dish. Caramelizing the apples, making the salted caramel and cooking the crepes. You can do them in any order but since I cooked the apples in the pan before I made the crepes, that is how the recipe is written.

Self-frosting Nutella cupcakes

Wouldn’t it be lovely to bring cupcakes to a summer picnic? These self-frosting Nutella cupcakes can be easily packed because the frosting is baked into the cupcakes!
