grainy cream cheese meets warm compote

Peel and chop the apple and rhubarb. The smaller the apple, the quicker they cook until soft and the more mushy the compote will be. Bring the apple and rhubarb to a boil with Xucker (or any other sweetener, but keep in mind the possible flavor of honey or maple syrup), ground vanilla bean, and a little water or juice. Simmer over low heat until the desired consistency is reached. Add more liquid if necessary to prevent burning. Stir the compote with the cream cheese and enjoy lukewarm. This “soul comforter” is filling thanks to the high protein content of the cream cheese, satisfies a sweet tooth with the compote, and warms from within, not only the stomach but also the soul. Tips: Instead of vanilla, cinnamon, ground cloves, or bitter almond flavoring are also suitable. Of course, the compote can also be made from other fruits and combined with the cream cheese. I particularly like the combination of sweet and sour with the fresh, cool cream cheese. Keep in mind the different sweetness levels when using other fruits.
