Welcome back, Geeky Gluttons, to another episode of Munchies & Minis!
For those just joining us, Munchies & Minis is a live Twitch cooking show where I make a tabletop or Dungeons & Dragons-inspired snack and then paint a miniature. To kick the first season off, I decided to start @RaineRysa‘s #52WeeksofDnD fanart challenge. Two weeks ago, we made a Sausage Platter fit for a blacksmith for the challenge word “Profession” This week’s challenge word was “Elf.”
For this challenge, I once again consulted PowerScore’s “Great List of D&D Food and Drink” for some insight into elvish cuisine. We’ve made an elvish savory dish before, a vegan “greenspear” and leek stew over a campfire. This time I wanted to make some dessert.
Elvish desserts listed include “mint jelly” and “tarts made of various berries, sweetened with a mash of berry juices.” Fruits eaten include “roseapple,” “Aelfyngrape,” rhubarb, and “many sorts of berries.” To keep things simple, I chose two berries often found growing in the wild: raspberries and blackberries.
I also found a “mintnut cheese” in the list of trail food, so I made a cheese, rosemary, and mint mixture to seal in all those delicious berry juices and further carry the forest flavor. I left out the nuts for a shorter ingredient list, but crushed almonds or hazelnuts should go nicely with this pie if you desire.
