Ok I, hate writing out recipes simply because I don’t follow any, even for my desserts. Every thing included in this blog is 100% mine unless I credit it to another chef or restaurant.

Ill do my best to articulate method as best I can, but be sure when I make something, it’s a little different every time. I generally only use a chefs knife, a hand held electric mixer, hand held bar mix thing and the little food processor attachment it comes with.


I love this desert for many reasons. Its dead easy to make, does taste fantastic and lucky for me its my owners favorite. I first made it in the Philippines on a dive research icebreaker looking for a 15C sunken Spanish Galleon El Spirit De Santos. I messed it up and all the ingredients separated. Which turned out to be wonderful. I was never able to mange the recipe to separate on purpose like that again so I do it all separately now.


Ok here we go.

Tab sugar

2 leaves of gelatin

  • Soak the gelatin in cold water.
  • Pulp the lychees with syrup and pass through a fine sieve
  • Heat the pulped lychees and syrup with the sugar. Squeeze water from softened gelatin and stir into the heated liquid with the sugar until both are dissolve. Pass through the sieve again.
  • Pour equal amounts into 6 champagne glasses and refrigerate until set. The mixture will be a soft set.
