Gorgeous together but equally delicious in their own right

These three recipes are delicious individually but make a perfect dessert when served together. Switch up the sorbet by using the same amount of mango when it’s in season.

Raspberry Sorbet

Method:

  • Put the sugar in a pan with 250ml of water. Simmer for about 5 minutes or until the sugar has completely dissolved, then set aside to cool.
  • Combine the fruit with the sugar syrup and lemon juice.
  • Transfer the mixture to a sealable container and put it in the freezer for 4-6 hours or until frozen.

Roasted Pecan Peaches

Method:

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C.
  • Arrange the peach halves, cut-side up, on a roasting tray.
  • Drizzle with half the caramel sauce or brown sugar and dot with butter. Scatter pecans evenly on top, then drizzle with the remaining sauce or sugar.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes and serve warm.


Dark Chocolate Bark with Raspberries & Pistachios

Method:

  • Take a baking tray measuring about 30 x 40cm and line it with baking parchment. Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set it over a pan of simmering water. Leave until the chocolate has melted, stirring occasionally. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in a microwave. Stir the oil into the melted chocolate.
  • Pour the chocolate into the baking tray and spread it out - it shouldn't be too thin. Sprinkle the pistachios and raspberries on top and gently push them into the chocolate.
  • Set the chocolate aside to cool and harden, then break it into shards.
