EASY KIWI CHEESECAKE DIP

It’s kiwi fruit season here in Australia and I couldn’t be happier. Despite their furry skin I love these bright green morsels of goodness. Typically I eat kiwi fruit peeled and as is or sliced on top of yoghurt but I decided to try something a bit different and make these furry little fruits the star of my cheesecake dip. This dip is easy to make and goes down really well at any party or gathering.

** WHAT YOU WILL NEED **

3  fresh kiwi fruits peeled and pureed
250 grams cream cheese
1/2 cup icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

** WHAT TO DO **

In a large bowl beat the cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the kiwi fruit and vanilla. Gradually sift in the icing sugar. Mix well until smooth and serve with fresh fruit or sweet crackers. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Enjoy!

EASY MINI PANCAKES WITH VANILLA SUGAR

Why is it that any food in mini form seems to taste just that little bit better? Well these mini pancakes are no exception. I used my mini pancake maker to make these but they could easily be make using a frypan.

** WHAT YOU WILL NEED **

2 cups self raising flour, sifted
1 cup milk
2 eggs, whisked
1 tablespoon vanilla 1 tablespoons vanilla sugar plus extra for dusting

** WHAT TO DO **

In a large bowl whisk together your ingredients until a batter has formed. A few lumps are ok. Grease your pancake maker or add some oil to your frypan. Poor your batter into the  preheated moulds or into the frypan. If using a frypan flip the pancakes once the mixture starts to bubble. Serve with a dusting of vanilla sugar and some cherries and maple syrup (optional).Yes it’s that easy! Enjoy!
