Tropical Pavlova

Once, at the beginning of my baking journey, someone more experienced told me that Pavlova is not a “fruit salad” — you should stick to one type of fruit. Oh, how wrong they were. Or perhaps Pavlova has simply evolved so much that no combination surprises anyone anymore?

I really wanted to make these with rhubarb — but, as luck would have it, I couldn’t find any in the local shops (most of them were closed because of the Royal Wedding!). Luckily, I had some overripe bananas at home — and they turned out to be a perfect substitute.

Roasted plum ice cream

Roasted plum ice cream — full of juice, deep fruity flavour and a beautiful pastel hue. For that lovely pinkish-purple colour, it’s best to use plums with dark red flesh (though any variety will work, just with a different shade). This is a Philadelphia-style ice cream

Waffle layer cake with cream and fresh berries

Waffles — but make them luxurious! This elegant waffle “cake” is a fun and unusual way to serve a classic favourite. Whether it turns out more like a cake or a gateau depends on the size of your waffle maker. I used a smaller one to create a more delicate, refined look.
