Our Favourite Fruity Desserts!

No matter what the occasion, everyone is partial to a dessert of some description. A fruity dessert is not only delicious but it’s also a healthy alternative to other sweets! The addition of a few staple fruits to your after-dinner delight is easy done. Basic fruits such as apples, pears and oranges can be sliced into nearly any yogurt to give you that rich chunky taste that very few can resist.

The majority of the popular desserts can be easily made at home. There are obviously many recipes available to choose from; here are some of our favourite dishes.

 

Crumbles

One of the best known desserts that can be made simply and cheaply at home has to be the crumble. This delicious recipe has been passed down from generation to generation and is always a treat to the taste buds. Many traditional crumbles are made with apples, pears, peaches and berries. If you’re feeling a little more daring, you can also try passion fruit, mango or fig.

                                                 

Fruit Salad 

The fruit salad is another popular dessert that is healthy and tasty. Whilst fruit salads can be bought pre-made, you can’t beat the freshness of a homemade version. With the addition of exotic fruits and a little side dressing such as a homemade passion fruit and wild honey yogurt, your guests will delight in the range of flavours that is simple to prepare no matter what fruit you have in the fridge. 




Peaches

We are lovers of peaches; they are a great dessert fruit and can be used in so many different ways!

The peach cobbler is another fantastic treat for your taste buds that anyone can cook at home, with little preparation time. With the addition of a crunchy biscuit and a generous serving of ice cream, the peach cobbler is a real party pleaser for its sweet and creamy taste. This blissful baked dessert is simple to prepare and can be made from scratch within the hour - making for a great last-minute addition to any meal.

Amaretto stuffed peaches are another way to enjoythe sweet flavours of this fruit, and a little dash of wine to add to the almond and macaroon filling can please any sweet toothed guest.
