Nici's best feijoa creations

1 Feijoa and apple upside-down cake
Because feijoa and apple seasons coincide, it seems only right to pop them both into one cake! They work well in this moist upside-down cake recipe, courtesy of Nici's mum.

2 Chocolate and feijoa crème brûlée
It would usually go against Nici's purist sensibilities to make anything but the classic vanilla crème brûlée, but this chocolate and feijoa version is just so irresistible that she's made an exception!

3 Nici's best feijoa friands
Nici shares the recipe for her very best feijoa friands. With their gentle, perfumed flavour and jellied texture, feijoas really make these delicate, gluten-free friands sing.

4 Feijoa ginger mascarpone
This is Nici's take on the original "gingernut log". The flavours along with the creamy texture make this a popular dessert. Who doesn't like a boozy, fruity dessert?

5 Feijoa and coconut loaf
This moist loaf tastes amazing freshly baked and is still wonderful a few days later when toasted (if it lasts that long!).
