Late summer fruits are always sweeter as they’ve soaked up all the summer sun and are extra ripe and juicy. I always find the last few weeks of summer are always the sweetest and best too.

ChocPavlova

Pavlova is one of those desserts that can be whipped up in minutes, yet always tastes like you slaved over it all day.
