We had a very nice evening last night however I did not make it to midnight, the joy of pregnancy I guess. I made focaccia bread from this recipe for appetiser which we dipped in olive oil with some salt and pepper and one olive oil with balsamic vinegar. It’s a very simple appetiser but fun and good and the can easily be made into a bruschetta or serve with a fiery tomato dipping sauce instead.

I also made a traditional Swedish dessert that contains a mix of vanilla ice cream (I used coconut ice cream), meringues, sliced bananas and chocolate sauce. The meringues I made from a Angel food’s meringue cookie mix which I purchase at vegan essentials. This dessert is a guarantee kids favorite, large and small. The sauce I made my self and below is the recipe. When ready to serve this dessert just place vanilla ice cream in a large bowel and add meringues, sliced bananas and whipped cream if so desire and pour the sauce all over. Needless to say this dessert melt quickly so serve immediately.

Chocolate sauce

1/2 cup cream (I used unsweetened mimic cream)

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 tbs maple syrup

Place everything in a sauce pot and melt chocolate while stirring on medium heat.
The sauce is done when it’s smooth, creamy and shiny.
