Get ahead desserts

Here are some suggestions to save time and get some sweet treats prepped and ready to go

 Trifles – no need to make the custard – there are

great brands out there so keep it simple.

 A semifreddo – berry-flavoured ones are always a

favourite in my family.

 Roulades freeze very well; just allow sufficient time

for defrosting.

 Another firm favourite with my family is a delicious vanilla panna cotta, which always tastes and looks amazing.

 Prepare sauces 4 to 5 days ahead of time: a yummy

coulis or salted caramel will add a wow factor!
