Cashew, Lime and Pineapple Sundae – Sierra Leone Flavours
I like my ice cream. Especially on top of pancakes with some fruit on the side. And that is just for breakfast.
So of course I would not say no to creating a sundae for Mövenpick ice cream. Especially handy as I had been thinking of recreating one of my Sierra Leonean sundaes for my girly weekend. After browsing through Mövenpick’s range, I saw their luxury vanilla dream ice cream which I knew would be perfect for my Bintu Special – aka cashew, lime and pineapple sundae.
Back home this sundae always started at a very basic level ie picking the cashew apple (from the solitary cashew tree we had). Then I got to eat the fruit, before carefully peeling of the toxic shell and roasting the nut. As fun and exciting as that was, I am glad that now I can just get myself a pack of already peeled cashew nuts to use – there is a lot to be said for convenience.
On the other hand I miss the pineapples in Sierra Leone – they would suddenly appear in the market as the season came. And there would be pineapple sellers, with ready-peeled slices on their heads, which you’d just be able to lean out of the car, hand over a some cash and have some sweet, warm, fresh pineapple.
This sundae is good. Try to get your pineapple as ripe as possible so that the sweet flavour really contrasts with the lime flavour and complements the slightly sweet roasted cashew. This is fresh and simple and without any syrup, relying entirely on the sweetness of the pineapple. I like to think that is a healthier sundae, at least that is what I tell myself. It really works. Next on my list is a sundae which involves the Mövenpick lemon and lime ice cream.

Lovely combination of flavours and photo Bintu. Ice cream is possibly the hardest thing to photograph!
Ice cream def one of the challenging things to photograph as a food blogger.
This looks absolutely stunning Bintu and lovely fresh flavours for the summer too.

Wonderfully simple, exotic and absolutely the sort of thing I want a large spoon for! lovely use of cashews, I don’t normally do that.
Large virtual spoonful sent over to you Deena.
The cashews, lime and pineapple sound like such a unique combination! I’m curious. And I’ve never had ice cream on pancakes and soooo want to try that! Very cool that you have a cashew tree, Bintu 🙂
Mike – ice cream on pancakes is soooooo good. Seriously you need to have test it.

Glad to be tempting you Thalia.
aww thank you for linking up to mine! I’ve never made a sundae before, so it was err, what you’d call experimental.
I’d love to go to Sierre Leone one Day…and try some Bintu flavours in situ!
It looked really good Fiona. The right sort of experiment. I hope you get to go to Sierra Leone too.
What a lovely sundae Bintu, with all those fabulous flavours of Sierra Leone. And a truly beautiful picture too!
Thanks Lou.
Mouthwatering, just mouthwatering. As a sidenote, what does a cashew apple taste like?
Soft, fleshy and sweet. I don’t know if that makes sense Emma.
Mez is right that photo is amazing. As is the sundae recipe. Love the idea of all those fresh flavours topped odd with crunchy nuts. What does a cashew fruit look like? GG
I think I am going to have to send you a picture GG.
This is perfect for summer, I love pineapple!
Familyfever – glad to meet fellow pineapple lovers. I hope you get to make this.
