Narration
Orange Spoon Sweet
It doesn’t get easier and more fragrant…
The sweet secret of my hotelier friend Chrysoula Papalexi, sweet orange that she serves on her heavenly breakfasts. A dessert that is made every season of the year.
Its color is so vivid and your mouth overflows with aromas in every bite. The truth is that spoon sweets “are not my thing” because they are very sweet for me due to the intolerance I have to glucose but this sweet of Chrysoula is something else…
We made it together and I saw that it is very easy and ideal to accompany my afternoon coffee especially when I enjoy it in the flowered courtyard of the Ganimede Hotel.
The recipe is yours.
