For the grilled pineapple dessert

Step 1

Cut the leaves and bottom off the pineapple, then slice into 10 x 1cm ( ½”) thick rounds. Using the cutters, stamp out pineapple rings and discard the peel and woody core. Thread onto skewers.

Step 2

Combine the Tate & Lyle Light Soft Brown Sugar and water in a pan, stir to dissolve, then bring to the boil and simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced by half to make a thin syrup. Stir in the lime juice.

Step 3

Preheat a ridged chargrill or barbecue.

Step 4

Brush the pineapple with a little of the sugar syrup, then place on the grill or barbecue and cook for 2 minutes on either side until glazed and golden.

Step 5

Pour the rest of the syrup into a serving bowl or individual glasses, add the rum, if using, and divide the pineapple skewers between them for dipping. Serve with golden vanilla ice cream.

For the ice cream

Step 1

Pour the milk in to a non-stick saucepan. Scrape the seeds out of the vanilla pod and add them to the milk along with the pod. Bring to the boil, then remove from the heat, cover with a lid and leave to infuse for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Combine the egg yolks and Tate & Lyle Light Soft Brown Sugar in a bowl and beat together with a wooden spoon. Slowly pour on the vanilla milk and mix well. Transfer the mixture back into the pan and over a gentle heat stir constantly until it has the consistency of single cream. Do not let the mixture boil or it will curdle. Remove from the heat and beat vigorously with a balloon whisk to emulsify the custard.

Step 3

Strain the custard through a sieve into a bowl, mix in the cream and leave to cool.

TOP TIP

Why not garnish your grilled pineapple dessert and ice cream with some chopped macadamia nuts or caramel sauce for that extra added “mmm!”

Step 4

Pour into a shallow lidded container and freeze. Mix the ice cream, stirring really well, every 2 hours for 6-8 hours to make a smooth creamy texture, until firm enough to scoop.

TOP TIP

Be sure to serve immediately for the tastiest results!

Sorry, we couldn't wait...

Mille-Feuille might be the prettiest dessert going, but just like a sunset, their beauty is gone before you know it!

(Especially if we're around... absolutely delicious.)

Up close and personal with a custard slice...

We could just fancy being tucked in under that crispy puff pastry sheet! 
When's the last time you had one of these? 

Recipe coming next week...
We knew it was going to be a showstopper, but this might be bordering on an eye-popper!

A picture-perfect cake tower, this delicate and airy sponge is bursting with summer's juiciest berries and scattered with crystallized rose petals...

In other words, it's a big shindig-only bake, so don't go hiding it away! It deserves to be seen! Recipe in bio.
Wow @georgiahearn__ knows what people like... chocolate and pudding! 

Made with @tateandlylesugars and @lylesgoldensyrup, this looks like a little bowl of happiness to us.
We know you're already sweet enough, but a bit of Tate & Lyle Sweetener wouldn't go amiss on #NationalTeaDay! 

300 servings in one easily storable dispenser, it's an aspartame-free, low-calorie treat. 

Which manages to taste just as sweet!
A whole day dedicated to one TEA!

Yes it's here, National Tea Day and the ideal time to share one of our favourite shortbread recipes using fragrant Earl Grey tea. 

Here's how to make Earl Grey & Lemon Shortbread:

Prep Time – 30 mins (4 hours to chill)
Yield – 12 – 16 (dependant on the size of your cutters)

Ingredients 

Biscuits
50g Tate & Lyle Fair Trade – Pure Cane Icing sugar
250g unsalted butter
2 tbsp of Earl Grey Tea
220g plain flour
Pinch of salt

Icing
A squeeze of lemon
100g Tate & Lyle Fair Trade – Pure Cane Icing sugar

Instructions

Combine your tea leaves and butter, leaving overnight preferably to infuse. You can cover in a bowl and leave to the side as this mix shouldn’t be chilled.
Add your butter mix to a bowl your sugar and combine, then add the flour salt until a dough forms
Roll out your dough mix until even – about half an inch thick and cut with your biscuit cutter.
Pop onto a baking sheet and into a preheated oven at 180°C/ 160°C fan/ gas mark 4/ 350°F and bake for 15 mins. Keep and eye on them as they can burn quickly.
Whilst they cool make your icing and then drizzle generously once the biscuits are completely cold.
If Dark Muscovado's a little too strong for you, this bag might just be your baking's saviour!

With enough molasses to keep things moist and sticky, our Light Muscovado boasts a buttery, caramel flavour with fewer hints of treacle.

A subtle change that always makes bakes better...

It might sound odd... but anyone who's had this slightly sour dairy knows it doesn't taste like butter!

Just squeeze a bit of lemon juice in your standard whole or semi-skimmed if you're ever in need.
