The beautiful bright green flesh of kiwifruit has meant it’s often found as a garnish to tropical cocktails or atop a summer pavlova. But the distinctive sweet-sour flavour of this winter fruit can really hold its own in any dessert.
Here, we’ve pulled together a few creative ideas for you to experiment with. There’s everything from a classic cheesecake, to homemade jams, and beautiful breakfast ideas.
Postre chajá cake
Postre chajá was created by the owner of a family restaurant in Uruguay. He called his meringue-based dessert ‘chajá’ after an indigenous bird of the same name, whose fluffy white neck and head plumage reminded him of the meringue. The ability to spot the resemblance seems to be unique to the cake’s creator.
