Preparation: 10 minutes
Cooking: 10 minutes
Serves: 4
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
Chocolate sauce:
50g dark chocolate, broken into pieces
10g butter
1tbsp cocoa powder
1tbsp cornflour
100ml milk
1tbsp caster sugar
Method
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.
Following pack instructions, warm the waffles.
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.
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!
