Açai berry and rose tartlets: The Perfect Summer Dessert

Girly, pretty and healthy. These tartlets are the perfect afternoon tea treat! So easy to make Açai berry and rose tartlets vegan, refined sugar-free, plant-based and gluten-free.

The filling is very simple, as it’s made with full-fat coconut milk and açai powder. The creamy richness of coconut milk pairs wonderfully with the vibrant açai flavor. To balance the coconut milk’s richness, I also added some lemon juice, much like how a hint of citrus can lift the flavors in a Japanese rice dessert. And a touch of vanilla bean paste enhances the overall taste, adding depth and warmth.

I topped them with high quality dried rose petals and blossoms from @suncorefoods. The smell is amazing! When using flowers in your recipes, always make sure to buy edible flowers!
