Soups, stews and curries are a great way to keep warm and well in winter. Occasionally during the winter months I fancy sweet treats too. As soups are a great way to keep warm I decided to make a fruit soup. I thought a fruit soup would make a delicious snack or dessert. Plus it’s pack with goodness so it will help to keep you well and warm. We really enjoyed this as a dessert and we hope you will enjoy it as well. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Apple and Date Fruit Soup was a yummy treat. It was very easy to prepare and cook. The fruit soup tastes so good on a cold winters day. It can be prepared in advanced and warmed through. If you are going to make it early I would leave the dates out as these may go soggy. Always put the dates in just before serving. I would do the same with the coconut cream or yoghurt. You could also make this in advance and freeze it for another occasion. As I mentioned earlier put the dates, cream or yoghurt in once heated through. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
