How to:

Spin sugar

Made using sugar syrup that has reached the “hard-crack” stage of boiling, delicate spun sugar threads add wow factor to the most simple desserts.

A cooking thermometer is essential for the job – be sure to warm it in hot water first so it doesn’t crack when dipped into the boiling sugar.

Follow the steps and most of all, enjoy! For the text version of this recipe (which you can add to your online recipe book), click the link: Spun sugar.

Boil the tapioca in 5 litres of water for 1 hour, or until transparent. Drain. Warm the coconut cream with the sugar but do not boil. Pour the tapioca into the cream mixture. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

To serve, spoon a little of the coconut tapioca into the centre of a plate. Place a ball of passion fruit sorbet in the centre. Garnish with cubes of fresh mango and a couple of spring roll crisps.
