Summer Squash Blossoms Tube. Duration : 8.63 Mins.
Ok what?! Squash for dessert? And in summer? Though its typically used as a vegetable, squash is actually a fruit, just like tomatoes. One of my favorite rules of thumb in teaching myself to cook is, if it grows together, it goes together. So I decided to pair squash with citrus juice flavors to make creamy custard! And any kind of custard is good, right? Sparks of citrus juices shimmy delightfully with rich squash and Greek yogurt, making the custard tangy, light and unexpected. Take a chance on these unexpected pan-fellows, youll be happily surprised and your guests wont even know there eating something good for them! In my video, I use Calabaza squash, but you can use any kind of squash, change it up with the seasons- or in the fall and winter months try substituting sweet potatoes instead of squash. You can even change the citrus juices to apple, cranberry or pomegranate juice for an easy spicy transformation. A light, flaky Philadelphia Cream Cheese crust cups the custard and the fancy blossoms are complemented yet again by a Philadelphia Cream Cheese Cramazing (thats crazy amazing) center. And the perfect finish? A hint of poppy seeds setoff the blossom’s center, making a supremely airy, creamy dessert for warm summer evenings.
