I just recently discovered that rose petals and rosebuds are very much edible! Who would have thought, right? I've always been a fan of flower tea, especially the kind that is just one huge bud that starts to "bloom" in your cup as soon as you fill it with water. I forget what the name of it was, but that kinda tea is amazing to watch, maybe I will make a video of it in one of my next posts, what do you, guys think? Let me know in the comment section!
Wow! Looks like I haven't missed a day here on Steemit in quite a while now, I feel pretty content about that. And excited to share one more recipe with you. As many of you know, I tend to take part in Steemit Culinary Challenge a lot, so one of those times when I was browsing the web for inspiration, I stumbled upon a very interesting blog called Unconventional Baker, there's plenty of healthy desserts you might wanna check out if you don't like baking, the only downfall is that you gotta freeze them and that usually takes 4-6 hours :/ either way haha I just heard myself sound JUST like Shoenice, either way, the recipe I used today for making these pistachio delights I got from there, except as always I modified it, took something out, added some magic, you know how that goes :D.
Ingredients for the crust:
Directions:
Place all of the ingredients in a blender and process. Unfortunately, my blender didn't really grind the quinoa and flax seeds, they are too tiny and there wasn't exactly a lot of stuff in the blender, however it did the figs just fine, so I wasn't too worried about it. Now form a crust in a spring pan or whatever cookware you have, note that it should be something small. Move it to the fridge or freezer to chill.
Let's make the filling, shall we?
Ingredients for the filling:
Directions:
This one is going the exact same way as the previous, super easy, just blend until it's smooth, add more or less liquid (cream/almond milk), evenly spread it on your crust and put away in the freezer for about 6 hours or better let it sit there overnight.
Just like a lot of other raw desserts this one needs to be stored in the freezer to prevent it from getting mushy and melting. I don't have a problem with that to be honest, but I know some people do, in that case I guess they would have to figure out a way to bake it, maybe just by adding some flower into the mix? Something to think about.
I think that it would also be good to try using dates instead of figs to make the crust. I haven't had them in a while and they are so good!
See ya soon!
One more, before I hit the post button :)
