Vanilla Bean and Mango Pavlova with Macadamia

This week I’m sharing my recipe for the perfect dessert this festive season – easy and delicious individual vanilla bean and mango pavlovas with macadamias. They are so simple to put together and, in this recipe, I’ll show you my method for only using two ingredients, egg whites and sugar, to make the best meringue.

Salted Caramel Apple Turnovers

This week I went apple picking with Montague for the launch of their new apple, Smitten. It was the first cold Melbourne morning we had had in ages, probably since last Spring really but I got up, drove the hour to the orchard then wound up on a dirt road that had a sign for apples at the start of it.

There's nothing better than a piping hot serve of warm, spicy and nourishing apple crumble on a cold night with a huge dollop of yoghurt. I've created this healthy apple crumble recipe so you can essentially 'have your cake and eat it too' plus have a super boost of fibre in your dessert.

This is such a gorgeous alternative to traditional frosting and I'd say it's probably way easier to make as well! You can play around the with flavours too, add some cacao, or peppermint essence or even some almond extract. You could also add food colouring if you wanted to create a particular look!

Sweet Potato Chocolate Mousse

Avocados have been pretty expensive lately so I started playing around with my regular healthy chocolate mousse recipe so I could still get my chocolate fix without paying an arm and a leg. I love sweet potato in sweets, it's such a gorgeous texture, mild flavour and pairs so well with cacao.

Lime & Mango Slice

I've always been one to pick zesty flavours over caramel/chocolate flavours because I find them super flavoursome and generally not as sweet. I always love enjoying a raw slice but they always have dates in them but I am actually sorbitol-intolerant and dates have a pretty large chunk of sorbitol in them. So to save looking 6 months pregnant after a coffee and cake date, I always end up going to something else.
