Kahlua and coffee milkshakes


These are a special treat and can be served as a dessert or as a specialty drink. They have the wow factor and look super decadent. Prepare the chilled espresso the evening before the party.

For each guest you will need 4x 500ml Jars
100 grams dark chocolate (optional)
ice (enough to fill 4 jars)
2-3 scoops per jar of vanilla ice cream 
1x shot of Kahlua Liqueur per jar
1x chilled shot of espresso coffee per jar
milk (enough to fill 4 jars)
4x straws

Melt the chocolate in the microwave on high at 30-second intervals until the chocolate has melted. Drizzle the melted chocolate around the inside of the jar.

Add ice to the jar and then 2–3 scoops of ice cream. Pour over the Kahlua and the chilled espresso and top up with milk. Add a straw and serve. Gorgeous!

Raspberry and coconut scrolls



These are superb for morning or afternoon tea! They are a quick recipe to make without all the fuss.
Invite a friend over or share with a group of friends. What a great way to show the love of God and the wonderment that is hospitality than to share these delicious scrolls over some intimate and personal conversation.

Makes approximately 9 scrolls

2 1/4 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons caster sugar
1/4 cup desiccated coconut
300ml cream
extra coconut for dusting

Filling
200 grams frozen raspberries
2 tablespoons caster sugar

Icing
3/4 cup icing sugar
1–2 tablespoons boiling water
1/2 drop pink food colouring

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan bake. Grease and line a 22 x 22cm square cake tin.
Sift flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Add sugar and coconut.
Then add cream and use a palette knife to cut through the mixture creating a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface and knead slightly. Roll out to a rectangle 30 x 20 cm and about 0.5–1cm thick.
In another bowl, add raspberries and caster sugar and crush gently. Spoon the raspberry mixture over the dough and gently roll up.
Cut to your desired thickness, making sure the cut side is facing up in your baking tin.
Bake for 30 minutes. Leave to cool for 10 minutes.
To make the icing, sift icing sugar into a bowl and add boiling water and food colouring. Mix to form a smooth velvety consistency.

Drizzle icing over the scrolls and sprinkle with a handful of coconut.
