I still had some figs, locally foraged blackberries, blackcurrants and red currants left, so inspired by a recipe my friend sent me I thought I’d whip up a healthy, warm summer dessert.
This comes in at only 152 cals per portion (I made 6 portions) so it’s a great healthy pud! You could use any fruits you like – just make up the same total quantity.
You will need:
400g Figs
150g Blackberries
159g Blackcurrants
100g Red currants
6 thin slices of day old white bread
100g dairy free spread (or butter)
1 tbsp sugar (plus extra for sprinkling)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 190 C.
Prepare the fruit – remove the stems from the currants, wash the blackberries and cut the figs into quarters (or if large cut even smaller). Pop the blackcurrants in a pan with a tbsp water and gently heat for a couple of minutes until the juices start to run. Add in the figs and continue to heat for another couple of mins until the figs are starting to soften.
Add in the blackberries and red currants and stir gently. Heat for a couple of mins until soft. I didn’t need to add sugar to my fruit but taste and if you feel it needs sweetening add a little sugar.
Spoon the fruit mixture into a medium dish or several small ones. I made three small ones and one slightly larger one!
Cut the bread into small triangles. Melt the spread in a small bowl, add the sugar and cinnamon and stir well. Dunk the triangles in the melted spread and arrange on top of the fruit in an overlapping pattern. Then sprinkle with a little more sugar and cinnamon.
Pop in the oven and bake for 15-20 mins or until golden and crispy. Best served warm!
Enjoy! 🙂
