Japanese Fruit Salad With Mint and Coffee Recipe

Ingredients :

12 canned lychees and the juice from the can

1 small fresh pineapple

2 large ripe pears

2 fresh peaches

12 strawberries

6 small sprigs of mint plus 12 extra sprigs to decorate

1 tbsp instant coffee granules

2 tbsp boiling water

2/3 cup heavy cream

1. Peel the fruit as necessary and chop into equal sized pieces.

2. Place all the fruit in a large glass bowl and pour on the lychee juice.

3. Put the mint, coffee granules and boiling water in a food processor.

4. Blend until smooth.

5. Add the cream and process again briefly.

6. Serve the fruit salad drained and chilled, with two small sprigs of mint on each plate, and the coffee sauce separately.

This dessert was served in a Japanese department store. Although it sounds a little strange, it works very well - the coffee flavor is excellent with the fruit.

Serves 4 - 6
