About this recipe
Fruit and yoghurt purée with the Thermomix TM7 is one of those recipes parents search for again and again: a quick breakfast or snack for little ones that needs nothing more than plain yoghurt, baby biscuits, oranges and apples. This all-in-one kitchen machine turns those four everyday ingredients into a silky, lump-free purée without any added sugar, because the natural sweetness of the fruit does all the work. The apples are steamed until fork-tender before being blended, which gives the mixture its soft, creamy body, while the orange segments add a fresh, slightly tangy lift that keeps the flavour interesting. The baby biscuit thickens everything pleasantly and adds a familiar milky note children already love. Whether you are weaning a baby, packing a toddler snack or simply want a light dessert, this recipe shows exactly why the TM7 belongs in every family kitchen: quick, gentle and endlessly adaptable to whatever fruit is in season.
Preparation tips
- Choose a sweet apple variety such as Gala or Jonagold rather than a sour one, because the flavour of the purée depends entirely on the natural sweetness of the fruit. Peel the apple thoroughly so no tough skin pieces remain in the finished mixture.
- Steam the apple pieces until they are genuinely soft before blending with the yoghurt and orange. Firm apple creates a grainy texture, while properly softened fruit gives the purée its signature silky consistency little ones accept happily.
- Add the baby biscuit gradually and check the thickness as you go. For a first-weaning version, use more yoghurt and less biscuit; for hungrier toddlers, an extra biscuit makes the purée thicker and more filling at breakfast time.
Recipe variations
- For a lactose-free version, replace the plain yoghurt with a lactose-free or plant-based alternative such as almond or oat yoghurt. The baby biscuit can be swapped for a lactose-free biscuit so the whole purée remains gentle on sensitive tummies.
- For a seasonal variation, swap the orange for ripe pear in autumn or sweet strawberries in summer. The pear pairs beautifully with the baby biscuit and yoghurt, while strawberries give the purée a festive pink colour that toddlers find irresistible.
Thermomix TM7 Benefits

- Steaming the apple pieces in the Varoma softens them gently, preserving their natural sweetness for the purée.
- Grinding the baby biscuits to a fine crumb takes only seconds in the TM7, giving the mixture a pleasant thickness.
- The Thermomix purées the orange segments and apple into a silky, lump-free consistency ideal for young children.
