Weekly Staple

I’ve been told it’s pretty good.







A chewy, coconut laced shortbread biscuit base, highlighted with tangy orange zest and warmed up with a light touch of mixed spices. Then a double layer of caramel. The dulce de leche is gooey and soft and the flavour is deepened by the golden syrup and salty butter folded in. Poured all over the top is 70% dark chocolate, just bitter enough to cut the sweetness of the caramel and give it the clean finish it needs.

The people of Leigh like it. I have been lucky enough to have it put on as a regular item on the current dessert menu at the awesome NZ Restaurant and popular music venue ‘The Leigh Sawmill’. If you don’t know the Sawmill at all please check it out @ http://www.sawmillcafe.co.nz/ . It is seriously worth the visit, often having awesome kiwi music and overseas bands grace the stage and it is officially the winter season so every Thursday night is Two for One Pizzas…..(it’s known for its pizza). Now there is also the added bonus: Lick the Spoon’s Caramel Slice…so if you are in the area stop by for at least a coffee, maybe a home brew, a pizza or two and some Lick the Spoon tasty treats.
