"I love fruit desserts and this is my favourite at the moment. Quick and guilt free too as it only contains fruit. Serve warm or cold. It doesn't really need anything else but I have topped with plain yoghurt in the past."

  1. A very delicious dessert!! I doubled the recipe and made it for two, but it ended up being enough for three,(we will fight over the last one tomorrow!!) We loved it and what a nice different way to use dates. Will definately be making this one again, would be a great company dessert! and looked lovely in martini glasses. Thanks for posting.
