Sweet tropical fruits don't get any better than this easy recipe - grill on the barbie and serve with oozy orange syrup and indulgent cream
Ingredients
- 200g caster sugar, plus extra
- Juice of 2 oranges (about 175ml)
- 250g tub mascarpone
- 150ml coconut cream
- Seeds of 1 vanilla pod
- 3 tbsp icing sugar
- 8 thick slices peeled fresh pineapple
- 8 small mango cheeks, skin on
- 4 peaches, halved and stoned
Method
- 1. On the hob, slowly melt the caster sugar in a pan over a medium heat until dark amber. Take off the heat and carefully add the orange juice. Return to the heat and stir until the caramel melts again. Cool and set aside until needed.
- 2. Beat the mascarpone, coconut cream, vanilla seeds and icing sugar until smooth. Chill until required.
- 3. Sprinkle the extra caster sugar to taste on the cut side of the fruit (or 1 side of the pineapple), shaking off any excess. Barbecue the pineapple and mango directly over a medium heat for 5-6 minutes, and the peaches for 3-4 minutes, until lightly charred.
- 4. Arrange the fruit on a plate and serve with the orange syrup and coconut cream.
