Dessert Recipes
Tiramisu
Tiramisu (“pick me up” or “cheer me up”) is an Italian dessert made from a mixture of whipped mascarpone cheese, eggs and sugar. The mascarpone mixture gets layered with ladyfingers that have been dipped in coffee. A liqueur is also sometimes added, I prefer rum.
Sweet and sticky Cape Malay Koesisters
This Cape Town favourite brings back memories of working at the Castle of Good Hope. I would sneak away whenever I had a chance to buy a half dozen of these delectable treats. The various stalls on the Parade would showcase their koesisters and people would line up to buy them.
Crème Caramel
Crème caramel is a “self-saucing” custard dessert. Once you unmould the Crème caramel it literally covers itself in caramel sauce. This recipe is far from traditional and I have two versions thereof.
Crème Brûlée Recipe
Crème Brûlée, or burnt cream, is a baked custard dessert with a caramel topping. The earliest edition of this recipe can be found in the French cookbook Le Cuisinier Royal (1691). This is my version of the classic dessert. When executed correctly the end result is a soft, velvety smooth creme brulee.
Vanilla Panna Cotta Dessert Recipe
Panna Cotta is a creamy, silky smooth desert from the Piedmont region of Italy. Panna cotta literally means “cooked cream”, which is flavoured with vanilla, sweetened with sugar, and set with gelatine. The secret of a good panna cotta lies in the wobble. It should just melt in the mouth, leaving you wanting more.
