[1st contest]Lychee-Rose Tartlets with Pistachio Crust [Lv. Intemediate]
Updated: Apr 28, 2021
I grew up in a Persian household, where pistachios and rose are quite common. My parents own pistachio farms in California, and rose water is prevalent in almost every Persian dessert. That's kind of where I got the inspiration, but I wanted to make something light and refreshing, with enough creaminess, but no sugar, gluten, excessive fats, or anything that would leave you feeling less than fresh afterward.
I run a company called CBG Advising, which helps people live more conscious, balanced, and graceful lives. After years of graduate school, work in policy and the corporate world, and a year of practicing law, I decided to finally turn my passion for wellness into my job. I love the intersection of nutrition, health, psychology, and spirituality, and to see how everything is connected. For me, eating beautiful and nutrient-rich living foods goes hand in hand with my daily meditation, journaling, and gratitude practices- they are all ways to honor and nourish my soul.

★ TIP ★
If nut-free can substitute with pumpkin seeds. Can substitute with coconut oil, but cocoa butter is more stable at room temperature, coconut oil may start to melt. Can substitute any smooth/creamy plant-based yogurt, or regular yogurt if not vegan. Can substitute regular sugar or coconut sugar, but it will not be sugar-free. Make sure to really whisk the Agar Agar into the plant milk before you heat it up, and to scrape the contents into the blender fully.
