5 make-ahead load shedding desserts that will put a smile on your face

When loadshedding is scheduled for the evening, make these fridge-only desserts ahead of time and serve straight to the table! 

1. Quick condensed milk tart

This tart is quick to make, only uses four ingredients and tastes so delicious. Top it off with granadilla pulp or fresh strawberries for a special touch! 

2. No-bake salted chocolate tart

This recipe takes a little more work, but results in a stunning, sophisticated chocolate tart. 3. Lemon meringue tart with charred fruit

This lemon meringue tart can be made ahead of time then be left to set in the fridge. Char pineapple or nectarines on a hot braai grid for some great caramelised flavours.

4. Fudgy chocolate and Marie Biscuit squares

These quick and easy chocolate treats don’t need any refrigeration. 

5. Berry Trifle

 

It would be a shame to use your trifle dish only once a year, right? Serve with some custard from the cupboard.
