As you might have noticed I’m not a big dessert kind of person. Occasionally though you do need something for the kids for after dinner or when friends come round. I like to spend my time making the “main event” so desserts / cakes etc for me have to be quick and very easy. This is about as easy as it gets. The moistness comes from the ground almonds so these aren’t exactly fat free but way better than using oil / margarine etc.
You can also ring the changes with these by using any type of canned fruit, e.g. pineapple, peaches, pears etc. Must try cherry… 🙂
To turn these in to Pina Colada cakes, substitute a can of crushed pineapple for the fruit salad and desiccated coconut for the almond meal. 🙂
