Sweet olives, rinsed to remove most of their brine and then dipped in a sweet glucose solution, are the hottest new product to hit deli shelves. Their more-ish affinity to chocolate makes them irresistible in this loaf. Dates make an equally delicious alternative if you can’t find sweet olives.
More often than not, it’s what’s on the inside that counts. If you’re still unconvinced, you obviously haven’t tried liquid-centred chocolate fondant. Recipe and styling by Anna Montali Assisted by Nomvuselelo Mncube Photograph by Karl Rogers

Take a traditional English favourite and give it even more flavour and decadence! Ginger banoffee tartlets with chocolate cream and walnuts are deliciously creamy, rich and sweet. The perfect indulgent treat.
TO DRINK: This dessert is just too sweet to match with anything other than the off-dry JC le Roux La Vallée.

Simnebun cake with Italian meringue & caramel-chocolate sauce gives a new meaning to the word ‘indulgence’. This sweet, sticky and rich creation is a real showstopper. It takes a little time, but is definitely worth the effort. You’ll be getting compliments on this gorgeous creation all night long!
TO DRINK: A glass of Grand Marnier, naturally.
What could possibly go wrong when you add alcohol and coffee to dessert? Well espresso jelly with white chocolate and grappa coulis is what can go very, very right.
