Bruleed fruit skewers with gingersnap crumb and coconut cream

The great thing about this recipe is that you can use any of the tropical fruits as they come and go in the markets. Select beautiful contrasting colours and flavours.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup double cream
  • ½ cup coconut cream
  • 1 tsp coconut sugar, or to taste
  • 1 mango
  • 1 kiwi fruit
  • 1 banana
  • 2 star fruit
  • 1 tamerillo
  • ½ papaya
  • ½ small pineapple
  • ½ cup coconut sugar, extra
  • 125 g gingersnap biscuit, processed to a coarse crumb

Instructions

Combine the double cream, coconut cream and coconut sugar together in a bowl and whisk until the cream has thickened. Chill.

Slice the fruit into uniform-size pieces and thread onto skewers. Place the skewers onto a foil-lined tray and sprinkle the fruit liberally with ½ of the extra coconut sugar.

Using a blowtorch or under a very hot griller, brulee the skewers until the sugar has melted and caramelized. Sprinkle the remaining coconut sugar over the fruit and brulee again until a deep golden colour.

Serve immediately with the coconut cream and ginger snap crumb.

Note

• Extracted from the bud of a coconut palm and then boiled down, coconut sugar is low GI and very high in minerals and has a great caramel taste. Now available in leading super markets or health food shops.
