It’s quince season, so let’s enjoy it!
Here you will find a classic greek traditional sweet which my grandmother used to make every year, especially during holiday season: baked quince in caramel sauce, served with vegan whipped cream! My grandmother used to make it with “traditional” sugar (haha) and traditional animal whipped cream, but here I have changed all that, and although the taste is divine, it’s all sugar free and vegan!
For those of you who eat dairy, yogurt is another great alternative as its sour taste goes great with the sweet quince.

Bake them in a preheated oven at 200 degrees celsius covered with aluminum foil, till you see them turn brown, that will take about 30 mins. Then remove the aluminum foil and bake them for another 15 minutes. When you take the tray out of the oven, tilt it left and right till you see the oil and sugar come together into a caramel sauce which you will drizzle over the quinces when you serve them. |

For the whipped cream you will need to refrigerate your coconut cream can for about 10 hours. When you take it out of the fridge turn it upside down so the water will be on top. Open the can and pour the water out, so you can separate only the cream. |

Done
|
Beat the coconut cream with the powdered cane sugar and the vanilla, for about 2 minutes. Use a chilled bowl if you can, it will help keep the cream from turning liquid, or place it in the fridge for about 15 mins once you it's ready. Serve your quinces with some whipped cream on the side! |
