Vegan Quince Dessert
Many of you might use quince to make delicious jam or fine jell, but have never used this tasty fruit to conjure a classic dessert like this quince cream. The traditional quince has been somewhat forgotten in recent years, although it is full of delicate flavors that have been appreciated for thousand of years already. Especially as a sweet temptation like my vegan quince dessert.
Ingredients
- 450 g quince 1 big
- 100 ml white wine vegan
- 0.5 packet vanilla sugar 4g
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- 3 Tbsp maple syrup
- 200 g soy curd (quark)
- 30 g ready-to-spray vegan cream
Zum garnieren
- 1 small handful hazelnuts
- a bit ready-to-spray vegan cream
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- 1. Peel, core and cut the quinces into wedges.
- 2. Put quinces, white wine, vanilla sugar, cinnamon and maple syrup in a pot. Bring to boil, cover and simmer with the lid on for 15 minutes.
- 3. Remove 2 of the cooked quince wedges, cut into approx. 12 small strips, place them on a plate and set aside. Puree the remaining contents in a stand mixer or with a hand blender.
- 4. Pour the quince puree into a bowl. Stir in the soya bean curd and vegan whipped cream.
- 5. Fill the quince cream into 4 small dessert glasses. Coarsley chop the hazelnuts and optionally toast them briefly in a frying pan. Garnish the jars with the quince strips, chopped hazelnuts, vegan whipped cream and maple syrup.
Notes
My tips:
You can prepare the cream with half apple and half pear instead of quince.
Alternatively, try other spices for the cream, for example gingerbread spice.
Instead of soy curd (quark), you can use soy yogurt or - if you don't want to use a soy product - vegan natural yogurt or vegan curd. If you use yogurt, let it settle for about 1 hour to get a firm consistency.
Be sure to use a good white wine, which will give the dessert a pleasant acidity and fruitiness.
