2. Bubbly Satsuma Jellies

Who says bubbles are only for celebration? When you need a dessert solution without dragging out the flour and chocolate, make these. Elegant, grown-up an guaranteed to induce giggles.

Ingredients (makes 6):

• 1 bottle of fizz
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 6 gelatine leaves or vegetarian alternative
• 3 satsumas, segmented

Method:

1. Soak the gelatine leaves (or vegetarian alternative) in cold water for about 5 minutes
2. Heat a third of the fizz in a pan until nearly boiling. Once hot, squeeze out the gelatine and whisk it into the hot liquid. Stir the remaining fizz into the liquid and pour into glasses
3. Refrigerate until set, popping satsuma segments into the jelly every time you go past the fridge. That way you distribute them evenly throughout the jelly, leaving about half an hour between adding each one

3. Peanut Butter Banana Ice Cream

This silky smooth ice-cream is possibly one of the best things we’ve discovered…ever. It’s refined sugar free, dairy-free and perhaps best of all it’s made from only 3 ingredients: banana, peanut butter and honey. No ice-cream maker; no skills needed.

Ingredients (makes 1 serving):

• 1 banana, chopped small and frozen
• 1 tbsp peanut butter
• 1/2 tbsp honey

Method:

1. Blitz all the ingredients together, push the mix into tupperware and re-freeze for a few hours for a Mr Whippy soft serve, or re-freeze for a little longer for a more scoopable affair
