The Lidl Food Academy in Nicosia offers refreshing recipes perfect for summer. One highlights a creamy ice cream made from coconut milk, brown sugar, and frozen exotic fruits like bananas, mangos, and papayas, garnished with lightly roasted coconut flakes and edible flowers. Another recipe mixes fresh strawberries, apricots, cherries, or blueberries with buffalo mozzarella or burrata, sprinkled with pistachios and basil, and dressed with a lime, honey, and olive oil vinaigrette.

For fans of lighter desserts, the academy presents meringue kisses made from aquafaba, the juice of cooked chickpeas, combined with beetroot juice for color. After baking at a low temperature for 1.5 hours, these meringues can be filled with whipped cream and fresh seasonal fruits.

These recipes provide tasty and innovative ideas for simple, colorful dishes using fresh ingredients, offering a delightful mix of tropical and local flavors that can be easily recreated at home.
