Koeksisters
Typically, a treat that you’d pick up from a farmstall mid-road trip – but why not make your own? It’s easier than you think. (Pro tip: Make the syrup a day before in order to get it sufficiently cold for serving.)

Koesisters
Don’t confuse these guys with plaited koeksisters. Koesisters are Cape Malay treats that have been spiced with a variety of flavours including cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon. Finally, they’re doused in a sticky syrup and coated with desiccated coconut.

S’MORES
Okay, we admit that s’mores aren’t necessarily a strictly South African dessert, but braaied marshmallows squashed between chocolate digestive biscuits are the essential ingredients of many childhood memories.
