After a barbecue, forget about sweet desserts. This original and exotic dish will make your guests melt!
Barbecue season is here. We enjoy, with friends or family, grilled meat or fish to savor during a lunch or dinner under the sun. After the merguez or the beef skewer, often accompanied by potatoes or seasonal vegetables, we have a full stomach and we especially want something light to end the meal… Certainly not a pastry, very rich in fat, with this heat! We have unearthed for you the original dessert to end your barbecue in style, on a refreshing note.
This is a simple and effective recipe, on the same theme as the meat or fish skewer on your barbecue. The fruit skewer, of course, but not just any one! Head to the Antilles with the ingredients: grated coconut, bananas, oranges, mangoes, pineapple, lime, rum, brown sugar and a capsule of vanilla whipped cream.
First, we prepare the fruits (the ingredients are for 10 people). Allow at least one hour before serving. On a cutting board, peel 3 oranges and 3 mangoes using a peeler, and cut them into 3 centimeter thick cubes. Peel 3 bananas and a pineapple weighing about one kilo and cut them into pieces. Place your prepared fruits in a round bowl-shaped container, and squeeze the juice of two limes into it.
Then place the sugar and rum! Add 100 grams of brown sugar and two tablespoons of rum to the preparation. Cover and leave to macerate for a good hour. You will then thread the pieces of fruit onto wooden skewers, interspersing for example with fresh mint leaves according to your preference. Also remember to be creative by alternating flavors. All that remains is the final touch: roll each skewer in 200 grams of grated coconut and that’s it!
All you have to do is place your beautiful skewers on a dish that you can also decorate with mint leaves. Reserve the dish in the refrigerator covered with aluminum foil. When serving, you can even be more creative by sticking the skewers into the back of a watermelon or melon or arranging them on a palm leaf, for a guaranteed exotic effect! Take the whipped cream out of the fridge to accompany the skewers as you wish. Your guests will long remember this creative and refreshing dessert that takes you on a journey…
