Tonsils out. Lips pouted. And, indulge.

This dish will topple any belief that vegan food isn’t super tasty.

Make this:

  • When you’re feeling boisterous and yearning for an intoxicating dessert that’ll have you punching the air
  • When you’ve just returned from the gym and need something lush that’ll have you satiated
  • When you’ve got a dinner party organised and pushed for time and a dessert you can create in a few minutes is what’s needed as you pamper yourself getting ready for the big nights with a few choice mates

Rose and Hibiscus Poached Figs was inspired when having some buddies for games night and wanting to create a glittery atmosphere as we relished in the joy of playing.

Figs are a sacred symbol and symbol of peace, abundance and knowledge. As an aphrodisiac it represents erotic desires and a sign of fertility.

Rose and Hibiscus Poached Figs is vegan and paleo.
