Vegetables For Dessert
I was surfing the internet and came across this recipe and found it to be very intriguing. I have not made it yet but I just know that my curiosity is going to get the best of me before long and before you know it I’ll be running to the store to pick up the ingredients.
To all my blogger and non blogger friends out there, has anyone ever heard of, tasted or made this? If so I’d love to hear from you and find out more about it. I’m guessing that even with the unusual combinations of flavors or because of them that this could truly be a very delicious recipe.

2 c. sifted flour

This does sound interesting, not too sweet.
Definitely not your traditional type of dessert.
Very Interesting. How did it turn out? I recently made a Feta and Swiss Cheese tart.
