Day #301 Blueberry and Sweet “Cream Cheese” Mini Tartlet pg. 206 entertaining in the raw
May 20, 2010
This is the first recipe with the blueberries that I picked blueberries yesterday. I needed some time alone so I decided that I would go pick blueberries. It’s very peaceful out there and I love stepping into nature when I need a break.
I had such an awesome morning, I love the field. It’s 6 acres of beautiful blueberry plants for as far as you can see. the dew on the leaves and blueberries was amazing. I wish I could capture all the images I saw yesterday to share them with you. The pictures above are only a few of the images I have. I can’t wait to return to the Blueberry Field.
I hope this pie goes over well with my family. I am taking it to my parents house for them to enjoy. My dad says he loves the desserts the best. Last night he called me and said I should sell these cakes and ice creams. He is so sweet. He is always encouraging me to do whatever makes me happy. He has always been on my side! Yep he is the BEST DAD EVER!! My mom didn’t try the desserts, but she loved the sumac bread from the other day. She said it gave her energy..she seriously asked if I put something in it that would make her have more energy. I guess it’s the LOVE!
Of course this recipe was rather simple to make. I have been waiting to make this until I was able to pick fresh blueberries because they are best freshly picked by my hands.
Tart Crust Ingredients
nut flour
coconut oil
lemon zest
Cream Cheese Ingredients
cashews
coconut meat
lemon juice
agave
coconut oil
water
vanilla extract
sea salt
vanilla bean, scraped
Garnish
Fresh Blueberries
mint sprigs
Nut flour was combined and pressed into lined tart shells.
Cream cheese filling was blended in Vita-mix until very smooth. The tarts were filled with the cream and placed in freezer for 8 hours. Then the tarts were removed from metal shells and wrap in plastic wrap. These are going to be stored in the freezer on a cookie sheet, if they last that long.
Time to make dinner for my kids.
