Method

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients. Line an 18cm round cake tin with baking parchment.

2

Place the apples and pears in a saucepan and add the water. Cover with a lid and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and continue cooking for another 5 minutes until the apples and pears are soft and the water has evaporated.

3

Break the chocolate into the cooked fruit and stir until melted.

4

Tip the mixture into a high-speed blender and add a pinch of sea salt. Blitz until really smooth.

5

Pour the mixture into the lined cake tin and smooth over the top with a spatula.

6

Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until set.

7

Remove from the tin and dust with raw cacao powder before serving.

Pretty simple and the younger kids liked it... basically tasted of apples...think I'd preferred stewed apples with cinnamon than this again

Absolutely delicious if you looking for a sweet treat that’s healthy as well.

A great guilt-free indulgent snack or dessert. I cut them into little bite-sized pieces, so they’re perfect when you fancy something sweet. 😋 The girls found the dark chocolate a little too bitter, though, so I’ll try 70% dark chocolate next time for them. 🍫

It’s the only recipe I have made and don’t like. Everything else is amazing

This was the star at a recent dinner party. Nobody could believe it had been made with such simple ingredients. Rich texture and delicious We served it with a side of fresh fruit salad.

Delicious. If boiling the water off of the fruits takes too long, I'd suggest pouring your fruits into a sieve (if the water is still not gone after 15 mins) to remove the water and continue the recipie. Again, a delicious, guilt-free recipie! Thank you!

Just setting in the fridge but the chef’s privilege of licking the bowl reveals a very tasty treat.
