Ingredients
Scale
2 cups of dandelion greens
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of heavy cream
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
1 tablespoon of lemon juice (optional)
1 tablespoon of almond extract (optional)
Whipped cream for garnish
Fresh dandelion flowers for garnish
Instructions
Prep the Dandelion Greens: Start by rinsing the dandelion greens thoroughly to remove any dirt or bugs. Give them a good soak in cold water, then chop finely.
Blend the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped dandelion greens, sugar, heavy cream, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
Prepare the Crust: If using a pre-baked pie crust, cool it before pouring in the filling. If making from scratch, bake until golden and allow it to cool.
Bake the Pie: Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, until set and slightly puffed.
Cool it Down: Remove from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature for about an hour, then chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
Add Toppings: Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and fresh dandelion flowers.
Notes
A delightful dessert that combines the unique, slightly nutty flavor of dandelion greens with a silky cream filling, celebrating nature’s bounty and nostalgia.
