For a romantic candlelight dinner or a close gathering of friends on a special occasion , this is one of the best desserts that you can think of. The fresh fruits stewed in orange-flavoured sugar syrup get an even more exotic flavour when set alight with a brandy flame.

You can bring the dish of fruits to the table and then pour the flaming brandy over it in front of the guests, as the sight and smell of the liquor flame adds to the aura surrounding this dish!

The Fresh Fruit Flambé tastes best fresh and warm with a topping of whipped cream. Exercise caution while setting alight the brandy in the spoon. Keep it away from yourself.
