Mmhhh! These little oven roasted fruit cups with vanilla ice-cream are beautiful, elegant, and mouthwatering! They make a perfect little treat when you want something sweet, healthy, and don’t have the time, or the inclination, to bake a cake.
Instead of making a traditional fresh fruit salad, I decided to roast the fruits in the oven for this recipe. Not so much that they come out mushy, like a fruit compote, but nicely baked and soft. While the pineapple and mango will hold together, the raspberries will melt and create a delicate and colorful sauce for the dessert.

Paleo – AIP
Pineapple – Mango – Raspberry
Substitutions: you can use pretty much any fruit you like to make these little cups. Keep in mind that you will have to adjust the cooking time of the fruits so they don’t come out of the oven overcooked. For example, if you decide to use blueberries and strawberries, reduce the cooking time to maybe 8 minutes. Just keep an eye on the fruits while they bake.
How to serve? As soon as the fruits come out of the oven, scoop them in small cups, verrines, or glasses. Don’t forget the raspberry sauce at the bottom of the baking dish! Top the fruits with a generous scoop of vanilla ice-cream and some leftover lemon zest for the garnish! Be careful because the ice-cream will start melting immediately with the heat of the fruits. So you need to be quick on your feet and serve the dessert immediately!

Thank you dear friend <3 🙂 I always forget that seasons are the opposite for you down in Australia! We are ready for fall here in Colorado.
It’s difficult to get to know what to eat on AIP. I see you are using mangoes and I was told not to…. 🙁 in the elimination process… This dessert is really looking yummy and I love your blog <3 Pourquoi simple French paleo ? 😉
Hello Cati,”Yes, mangoes are allowed during the elimination phase of AIP! Why Simple French Paleo? This cookbook was inspired by my youth and the French cuisine I was eating. Hence the name, made simple of course to account for the eliminations of AIP.
