Tantalise your tastebuds with pure exquisiteness.
Succulent tangy burst Blueberry Pie infused with citrus lemon and earthy cinnamon on a millet teff pastry bed.
This dish will obliterate any belief that vegan food can’t be scrumptious.
Make this:
- When your laden with blueberries following a scrounge at your local farmer’s market
- When you fancy a slice of indulgence with a dollop of vanilla ice-cream in tow
- When you’ve got a festive bug and you’re grappling with your dancing hips and a mouth-watering dish beckons
Blueberry Pie was inspired when I’d discovered reduced price Blueberries at my local supermarket. Always, up for a bargain I grabbed the remaining punnets, enthused I could make Blueberry Pie.
Blueberry Pie is a vegan dessert and gluten-free.
Love.
