German Sweet Plum Dessert

The German sweet plum dessert is not an average dessert from the German cuisine. When I found this recipe I thought, this is a great alternative for ice cream or pudding. The recipe is using dried plums (prunes) You can also make this German dish for a sweet supper. Some health experts say, that a healthy nutrition would only allow a light sweet dish for dinner because such dishes are the easiest to digest. Makes sense. Meat is using the most energy in the body for digestion. Nevertheless, this dessert is irresistible. Happy Cooking!
