Dessert was our biggest challenge as we didn’t enjoy the taste of soy ice cream. Some suggestions are below:
-Chocolate mousse
- Awesome chocolate cake
- Lemon tart
- Strawberry custard tart
- Chocolate dipped strawberries (with a glass of champagne!)
- Chocolate orange roulade (but fill with dairy free cream and use icing on outside of the cake)
- Thai style crème caramel (this is quite nice but shouldn’t be left in the fridge too long)
- Jelly (for the kids!)
- Meringues
- Sorbet
- Fruit platter
These suggestions are all adequate, but after a while we found them a bit limiting. So we did some further investigation and found that you can use coconut cream/milk to make ice cream. Kohu Road make one variety (coconut and rum). I like it but we found alot of people don’t like rum. So, we took the plunge and bought an ice cream maker – we have actually had great success with this and it is pretty easy – just takes a couple of times to get the hang of it. Our favourite is chocolate and orange chocolate chip! So here is the ice cream recipe.
