Grilled figs with yoghurt dessert

figs · greek yoghurt · honey · orange · yoghurt

This delicious easy, stress-free and most importantly, healthy dessert is a breeze to make. I mix honey up with some cinnamon, rosemary and pepper to grill the figs with. A layer of Greek yoghurt with crunchy pistachios or almonds, fresh orange zest and these grilled figs on top make for a fabulous breakfast, dessert, in between snack.

Other variations can be to sub honey with maple syrup or brown or coconut sugar. Replace orange zest with lemon zest, add some chocolate shavings, and sprinkle with sesame, pumpkin or chia seeds. Rosemary can be subbed with thyme or sage – really, whatever you have in your fridge!

Ingredients

  • 2 figs, halved
  • 2 tsp orange zest
  • handful crushed pistachios
  • 90 g Greek yoghurt

Honey mix:

  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 3-4 strands of fresh or dried rosemary
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of black pepper
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon

Method

  • Stir the honey with rosemary, salt, pepper and cinnamon in a flat plate
  • Place the figs, face down into the honey mix
  • Place a pan on high heat
  • Once the pan is hot, place the figs to grill on the pan, face down for around 5-7 minutes
  • Once they have grilled well turn off the heat and set aside
  • In the serving plate, spread the yoghurt
  • Place the grilled figs on top
  • Sprinkle pistachios and orange zest on top
  • Drizzle the remaining honey mixture
  • Serve

Mini Cherry Wedding Cake

Who says you need to get married to make a wedding cake for yourself? This is my treat for myself. I made a mini orange infused loaf cake, cut into two layers and filled with fresh cherries and cherry jam, and delicious thin layer of buttercream frosting. This one isn't too decadent in the frosting department, but just a right amount to bring the whole cake together. I indulged in a slice at each meal, and it took a total of 3 days to complete. Take my advice, bake the cake for yourself, treat yourself well and find back that childhood gleeful joy!

Orange + Ginger Loaf

A few nights ago, I was reading a deliciously juice murder mystery novel, set in the 1800s England. A time when each grand home had a butler and tea service was taken very seriously. In there, the protagonist, a relentless young woman, was offered tea with cake as per the rules – man I was born in the wrong era! She described this particular citrus scented cake laced with warm ginger in great detail and I woke with an absolute determination to make one. This cake is a classic loaf cake with lots of warm spicy fresh ginger and orange zest, rubbed into sugar and also, some fresh thyme! This cake holds very well and you can travel with it like I did, and hopefully return with a slice or two just for yourself!
