GRILLED FRUIT SALAD WITH COCONUT CUSTARD
This is a wonderful way of ending a meal – tasty but not too sweet nor too heavy as baked puddings tend to be. The Carmién Mocha (coffee) rooibos tea syrup gives an interesting twist to the grilled fruit. The coconut custard is made with Carmién’s Cookies & Cream rooibos tea mix which has real coconut added to it. Yummy and it works beautifully with the fruit.
