Sarina’s Vegetarian “Krabby Patty” Burgers (recipe)

Sarina’s Spicy Ochro/Okra Melee (recipe)

A light simple dessert for a breezy summer afternoon. The banana and coconut flavours play off each other nicely, and the custard is mildly sweet, extremely soft, and surprisingly refreshing. I tried the coconut but warm and cold and prefered it warm. As I was
