Seeing as Melbourne has FINALLY been blessed with some seasonal
weather (it’s been a long time coming!), we couldn’t help but start planning
some delicious treats for the warmer months. Lime and coconut waffles are a
nice nod to the tropics, and are the perfect way to farewell the chillier
weather we know all too well. These waffles are super crunchy on the outside
and fluffy on the inside, and when paired with a luscious lime syrup and
Gundowring coconut ice cream, will be sure to be making a regular appearance in
our kitchens over the coming summer months!
