We love Tu Bishvat for so many reasons. The meaning behind the holiday is beautiful, not only connecting us to Israel, but also to nature around us. The focus on fruits is such a nice break from celebrating with loads of candy, and we love that the holiday comes with so many creative opportunities for adults and kids alike.

We have so much amazing content that covers Tu Bishvat, but today we’re focusing on Tu Bishvat dessert recipes. The opportunities to incorporate fruit into a dessert are endless, but for anyone who needs extra inspiration, take a look below!

This is a kid favorite. It’s fresh and light and heavily sweetened with fruit — ideal to offer to an uninitiated smoothie drinker.

27. Red Wine Poached Pears by Shushy Turin

Red wine and fruit has always been a classic pairing especially since fruity flavors are often found as undertones of many red wines. Poaching fruit in wine not only gives it a beautiful color and helps soften the fruit, it also brings out the subtle flavors in the wine and gives a better appreciation for the nuances found in each bottle. This dessert is super simple but its sophisticated and delicious and probably healthy right? To one up this recipe, grate some chocolate over it before serving.
