6 game-changing chocolate treats
Just when you thought you’d seen all the chocolate treats you could imagine, our deputy food editor Khanya Mzongwana has come up with 6 inspired recipes that will make you fall in love with chocolate all over again.
1. Plantain split with chocolate sorbet
Plantains are like the older brother of bananas. Bigger and not as sweet, but worlds better in my arrogant opinion! The sorbet recipe is inspired by a David Lebovitz recipe, with the option of adding a splash of Kirsch.

2. Chocolate pretzel clusters
These are so good you wouldn’t be blamed for having more than you should. Crunchy sesame pretzel rings and flaky salt add an edge to this Earth-shatteringly crunchy cluster.

3. Mashed potato doughnuts
These doughnuts, lemme tell ya! This is one of my first attempts at making doughnuts at home and this recipe is the jackpot. I’ve topped these with chocolate and filled them with chocolate mousse, but you can use anything you like!

4. White chocolate custard
This decadent white chocolate custard was made as a filling for the mashed potato doughnuts above, but that's not all you can do with it. Get creative and use it with some of your favourite desserts like malva pudding, trifle or jelly.

5. Tiramisu trifle
Tiramisu is one of those desserts I always come back to. Mine is a trifle-style twist, with coffee jelly and buttery Madeira cake.
6. Tres leches tray bake
Tres leches is a cake of Mexican origin that gets its name from the three kinds of milk used to soak the light sponge, turning it into a pudding-like cake. Traditionally, it’s served with a little whipped cream and berries, but this one is getting the chocolate treatment. Feel free to prep the sponge in advance.
