Golden pinkish floral Quince Crostada with citrus lemon in a millet teff pastry served with lashings of ice cream.
Sensationalise your festivities. And, indulge
This dish will demolish your belief that vegan food can’t be lip-smacking delicious.
Make this:
- When the festive season is upon you and need a hearty nourishing dessert that will add an umph to your festivities
- When you’d prefer to have a jam tart that has a bit of exoticness to it as you curl up on the sofa
- When the kids are screaming and need a little light relief that’ll them baking and enjoying their just desserts
Quince Crostada was inspired having made some fresh Quince Jam and fancy a take on the traditional jam tart.
My quince jam recipe can be found here.
This quince tart is a vegan dessert and gluten-free, and Italian cuisine.
