BRAAI FOR DAD
Part 3
By Carmen Niehaus
GRILLED FRUIT SALAD WITH COCONUT CUSTARD
This is a wonderful way of ending a fatherās day meal ā tasty but not too sweet nor too heavy as baked puddings tend to be. The mocha (coffee) rooibos tea syrup gives an interesting twist to the braaiied fruit.
The coconut custard is made with Carmienās cookies ān cream rooibos tea mix which has real coconut added to it. Yummy and it works beautifully with the fruit.
