Figs are one of the most underrated fall fruits, but Sarah Kermalli of Sculpted Kitchen is putting them front and center. She’s using figs to decorate many of her desserts these days, and they happen to be one of the main ingredients in these recipes from her Instagram page.

Figs Toast

If you’re a fan of sweet toast, you should try eating this one with your cup of tea in the morning. In addition to thinly sliced figs, you’ll also have to top your toast with a vegan yogurt spread, passion fruit, and wild blueberries—but any of these ingredients can be easily replaced.

Drama? Don’t really care for it in RL but drama in food is what’s exciting! The warm colours paired with the blue are colours we see paired often! What colours do you see often in life? In food? In travel? In clothes? Take something simple like toast and play around with the colours 🎨 and see what magic you make. I made this for my lovely friend’s @stemsandforks and @silvia_salvialimone who are hosting a #colourchallenges On this toast is simply: Plant based yogurt Figs Passion fruit Wildblueberries Mint Enjoy the process 🙂 Sarah __________________________________________ #toast #avotoast #kaylaitsines #createeveryday #bestofvegan #thisweekoninstagram #veganrecipes #vegan #sourdough #toastmasters #carbs #pesto #guacomole #ourdailybread #avo #foodphotography #mycanon #realfood #TOHfoodie #avocados #cilantro #gloobyfood #veganfood #healthyfood #toasts #bbgcommunity #bbggirls #f52grams #feedfeed

Salted Chocolate Ganache

If you’re in the mood for a recipe that requires a bit more skill, how about making some salted chocolate ganache? The process of making it is pretty straightforward, and the final result would be quite ordinary if it wasn’t for figs topping that made the whole thing 100% better.

Salted chocolate ganache with figs? This is one of my fav desserts! What’s yours? Do you like fruits in your desserts? Some of my friends love it and some pass. Is it a spectrum or a definite yay and a definite no?? It’s been a road. A long bumpy full of hurdles. Guys: if you want to learn or do something just do it. Don’t wait. I find waiting just brings a lot of expectations which never really come into fruition. I find that with justice, climate change, our dreams and passion.. we need to start acting rather than wishing. Gluten free crust: 🍫 3 cups of almond meal/hazelnut meal. 🍫 4 Tablespoob of maple syrup. 🍫 1/2 cup melted coconut oil. 🍫 1/4 cup cocoa powder. . 🍫 mix all together in a bowl with your hands until glossy & well mixed. . . easy ganache: 🥥 a full can of coconut milk, incl the water. 🥥 15 ounces of dark dairy free chocolate, chopped up roughly. 🥥 a dash of vanilla powder. 1 tsp of cinnamon 1/4 tsp of nutmeg. 🥥 place chocolate in a medium bowl. . .

Fig Crumble Cake

If the previous two recipes don’t contain as many figs as you’d like, take things to the next level with this one. In addition to being topped with figs, this crumble cake contains fresh figs in its oat crumble, and they’re its main and the most delicious ingredient.

✨ Fig Crumble Cake ✨ I was asked why I do my photography and if it was driven by a desire to succeed or make a business out of it. I actually did intend to make this a food photography channel and started with @sculptedpilates and was trying to promote my Pilates business (ironically that didn’t do well) and posted my food one day. What followed after was meeting so many diverse and wonderful people around the world. As the account has evolved and my photography has improved a little, the desire to commercialize isn’t the driving force. I genuinely find the world of photography so excited that I want to jump out of bed and bake, cook &capture the images as well as I can! I genuinely think that if you’re appreciative of the small and positive things that come from your work, you’ll enjoy your work more than if your intention were to be profit driven. What drives you to do your page? ⭐️ Fig Crumble cake: 2 flax eggs (2 T of chia/flax meal in 6 T of water) 1.5 cups of chopped fresh figs 3/4 cup of coconut or oat yogurt 3/4 cup of coconut sugar 1/2 cup of coconut oil or vegan butter 2 tsp of baking powder 3/4 cup of oats 1 1/2 AP flour Method: Preheat your oven to 350F Make your flax eggs, put aside Fluff/mix your sugar and butter/oil. Add in your wet ingredients and mix well. Add your dry ingredients slowly and just combine. Try not to overtax. Place inside a square pan or a small circular pan lined with parchment paper sprayed with cooking spray Make your oat crumble Oat crumble: 1/2 cup of flour 1/4 cup coconut sugar 1/3 cup of oats 5 T of cold vegan butter 1/2 cup of dried or fresh figs 1/3 cup sliced almonds Method: Combine the above ingredients and mix with fingers until it resembles crumbs. Place oat crumble on top of your prepared pan and place into oven for 70 minutes. But test with a chopstick. Top with dairy free ice cream!! #bestofveganfall #fruits #thisweekoninstagram #hellofrom #vegan#feedfeedvegan #bestofvegan #tastingtable #eattherainbow #dairyfree #inspiremyinstagram #farmersmarket #veganbowls #thrivemags #TOHfoodie #feedfeed #wholefoodfaves #prettyfood #figs #cake #healthytreats #kaylaitsines #bbgcommunity #acolorstory #vegantreat #
