Our team is dedicated to providing exceptional service and memorable moments, and our love for good food is at the heart of what we do.

One of our favourite desserts to serve is the Frozen Lemon Meringue. This refreshing and tangy treat is a perfect end to a day of adventure in the African bush. We believe that dining is a sensory experience, and this dish is designed to look beautiful and leave you wanting more.

To bring a bit of Shumbalala Game Lodge into your home, here is the recipe for you to try:

Frozen Lemon Meringue:

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream ( preferably homemade)
  • ½ can condensed milk
  • ¾ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (add more if it is not tangy enough to your taste)
  • Zest of 1 lemon

Method:

  • Mix all the ingredients together until it is all well blended, the consistency will be slightly runny but don’t worry, the lemon juice will give it the firmness it requires.
  • Divide the mixture into ramekins (should make about 8 small portions).
  • Freeze for about 2 hours.

Meringue:

  • 1 Egg white
  • 3 Tbsp icing sugar

Method:

  • Beat the egg white until soft peaks form.
  • Add the icing sugar a little at a time continuously beating until its finished.
  • The meringue should have the consistency of marshmallow – add more sugar if necessary.

Add this onto the lemon meringue just before serving and burn with a kitchen torch.

Serve and enjoy!

We look forward to welcoming our guests back to Shumbalala Game Lodge to taste this delicious dish for themselves.
