Inspiration behind this recipe: Malva pudding is a proudly South African dessert. It’s usually sticky, sweet and warm but I wanted to adapt this week’s ingredients and put a spin on our traditional Kaapse malva pudding using coconut milk and crackers with a chocolate spin, and served with roasted pears and warm custard. When my daughter was 4 she showcased her first dessert on my Facebook page. I always try dessert recipes that she would be able to make easily. Simplicity was the aim of this recipe. Quick and easy to make, smallies will have lots of fun helping mum or dad to make it.
