Zabaglione - serves 4
6 egg yolks
6tsp sugar
150ml/¼ pint Marsala wine
1. Blend yolks and sugar together and gradually add wine. Put into a heavy based pan and whisk on gentle heat until you have a frothy, thick custard.

You can have on it's own or serve with sweet biscuits (I am sure there are good gluten free ranges in most supermarkets).

¼ and ½ mango, sliced
1 vanilla pod, seeds removed
1-2 tbsp honey
55g/2oz brown sugar
85g/3oz cooked rice

2. Add the cooked rice and stir to absorb.
3. Stir through the coconut milk and heat for a further 2-3 minutes.
4. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with remaining mango slices to serve.
Or you could just go for peaches or pears poached in wine.

Is it really that difficult to understand?tenchi-fan said:I didn't think so, maybe seek should explain what he means
Pavlova is made out of egg and cream. So it's hardly a dairy-free desert.
I don't believe eggs are dairy produce, nor that cream is absolutely critical for pavlova. Only the topping is cream AFAIK.seek said:
There's no need to be so condescending, he seems to believe, as I do, that there's no requirement for dairy produce in a pavlova. I guess you could eat one with just fruit on top. I'd rather have cream though.

That is called meringue, not pavlova.Gilly said:
Hmm. Thats odd, one of the low-fat desserts suggested in a diet book I was reading recently had yoghurt on a pavlova. OK, yoghurt is still dairy produce but I figured the meringue base was the pavlova and the toppings were separate.

What menu have you got planned?
A real simple dessert would be caramalised banana's and soya ice cream, you could maybe do an alcoholic sauce with oranges and grand marnier. Just peel the banana's and split them up the middle, stick them under the grill with a good dusting of natural brown sugar until the sugar melts and coats the banana's with caramel. Really quick & easy and tastes great.
