Ok, I’ve made this a while ago, when it was still hot outside, but didn’t get a chance to post the recipe. I thought it would be a good idea to post this recipe before it starts snowing : )))… or who knows, maybe some people like eating ice cream in winter more than summer! This recipe is actually for an awesome grilled banana sauce also known as bananas foster, the ice cream is store-bought. You can use this delicious sauce for topping pancakes as well.

Banana Bread and a Perfect Picnic Day

I’ve had this recipe on my “to try” list for a long time now. Since yesterday was a nice sunny day we decided to go out for a BBQ picnic with our friends. So I thought banana bread would be the perfect dessert for a picnic. Everyone loved it so I’m sure banana bread will be on our picnic menu from now on . I want to send my special thanks to hubby’s colleague, Wilma, for sharing this great Banana Bread recipe.

Lady Fingers Fruit Cake (Tort Diplomat)

February 20, 2011 by Roxy 14 Comments

It was Sunday morning and for some reason I woke up with a craving for something sweet. I had fresh fruits, whipping cream and some lady fingers so all I could think of was a fruit cake that my mom used to make quite often when I was a kid. It’s called “Tort Diplomat” and there are different variations of the recipe; but, most of the time, the cake filling is made using whipped cream set with gelatin and mixed with fruit pieces (pineapple, oranges, mandarins, kiwi, berries, raisins and so on).

I can assure you that this cake is extremely easy to make and a very refreshing dessert. It’s very light and not overly sweet, perfect for any occasion. The only drawback is that you have to refrigerate the cake for a couple of hours to allow the gelatin to set. [Read more...]
