There’s no place like home: 17 South African desserts to celebrate Heritage Day

By Melissa Scheepers, 22 September 2017

Satisfy your sweet tooth in true South African style – from cinnamony pumpkin fritters to indulgent bread-and-butter pudding. We’ve selected our favourite heritage desserts just in time for the weekend’s celebrations.

While we savour these dishes all-year round, Heritage Day is as good an excuse as any to celebrate these sweet favourites. Treat your guests (and yourself) to sticky, sweet malva pudding in all its carnations. Or try your hand at whipping up a fluffy meringue. Perhaps a good old fashioned bread-and-butter pudding is more your style? Whichever dessert you fancy, we have you covered.

It’s a weekend special...
