Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cooking Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

1 x 400 ml coconut milk can
1 vanilla pod, split
½ lime, juiced
Salt, a pinch
2 T brown sugar
2 ripe bananas, halved
2 peaches, halved or sliced
4 T white sugar

Method

Place all the ingredients except the bananas, peaches and white sugar in a saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes.

Preheat the grill. Sprinkle the bananas and peaches with the white sugar and grill for 5–8 minutes, or until caramelised. Take care that they don’t burn. Alternatively, use a blowtorch to brûlée the sugar.

Drizzle the vanilla-infused coconut milk over the grilled fruit to serve.

Cook's note: Rich coconut milk spiked with sweet vanilla and zesty lime is utterly delicious drizzled over summer fruit.
