Kids (of all ages!) will love these yummy waffles, topped with caramelised South African peach and plum slices drizzled with an easy-to-make chocolate sauce – with whipped cream on the side!
Serves: 4
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
You’ll need:
4 bought waffles
20g butter
2 South African peaches, pitted and sliced
4 South African plums, pitted and sliced
1tbsp caster sugar
100ml double cream
For the chocolate sauce:
50g dark chocolate, broken into pieces
10g butter
1tbsp cocoa powder
1tbsp cornflour
100ml milk
1tbsp caster sugar
What to do:
1 First of all, make the chocolate sauce. Put all the ingredients into a non-stick saucepan and heat gently, stirring constantly with a silicone whisk or wooden spoon until smooth and thickened. Set aside, stirring occasionally.
2 Following pack instructions, warm the waffles.
3 Melt the butter in a large frying pan and add the peach and plum slices, cooking over a high heat for 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle in the caster sugar and cook for a further 40-60 seconds or so, until the fruit looks lightly caramelised.
4 Whip the cream in a chilled bowl until it holds its shape. Serve with the waffles, fruit and chocolate sauce. Sprinkle with a little extra cocoa powder, if you like.
Cook’s tips: Make this recipe with pancakes instead of waffles, and use canned squirty cream instead of whipping it yourself – kids love it, and it’s quick and easy!
