steemit Iron Chef 2018 Act 01 Round 06 3 color dessert
3 Color Dessert
The first layer is a mixture of ground almonds with dates made pure and cocoa nibs ground is the crust. I put together two dessert boxes and left it in the freezer for longer until it was harder. Then I put it in a rack where I added the melted chocolate to give it another presentation.
I grew up in the south part of Mexico in Veracruz is a state where it is very prodigal, there in your soil grows any number of plants, flowers, and fruits. It has all climates from the mountain, desert areas, and an extensive beach area.
There is an area called fog forest that in the world there is very little and a strip passes through Veracruz
The products I am using in this recipe grow throughout the state as mango, the fruit of the cactus in English is "prickly pear", and when the fruit is sweet in Mexico they say Tuna and if it is sour it is a "xoconostle" that It is a Nahuatl term.
This fruit is used in many dishes in Mexico since I am doing it now in this recipe they make ice cream and many other things.
The incredible thing about this fruit and the cactus is that when the Spaniards arrived in America they got to know this plant and they take it and once La tuna is introduced in Spain, it was distributed throughout the Mediterranean basin. This is how it currently exists in the wild or cultivated throughout the Mediterranean basin: Italy, France, Greece, and Turkey, reaching Israel, where it is known by the word "sabra", which means prickly on the outside but sweet because inside.
In Mexico, there has also a song it has the famous Tuna and, above all, it is a hundred percent Mexican product like the tequila that has the denomination of origin.
Cocoa is Mexican and a large production of cocoa is in the state of Tabasco and likewise with cocoa is made refreshing beverages and the usual use as chocolate in the state of Oaxaca and Veracruz make an infinity of handmade chocolate of different flavors cocoa is one of the 21 ingredients of Mole important festive dish of Mexican food and as a reference 100 gr of cocoa has the necessary amount of magnesium that the body needs, considering that magnesium regulates more than 325 chemical activities in The human body is to imagine the importance of cocoa in food.
And another product that I am using is the coconut that likewise grows on the coasts of the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific, so Mexico is a place where its food is considered by UNESCO as intangible of humanity because of its diversity of dishes that would not end do so many in one life because there are as many states as regional dishes are.
Half a ripe mango must be pureed, add 3 tablespoons of stevia and the curry is stirred very well
In a saucepan add the cashew milk only to heat and add 1 teaspoon of agar agar. It is stirred very well with the light off until it has no lumps, the mixture of the ripe mango is added, it is stirred very well and put in a flat bowl and goes to the refrigerator for about 20 minutes. coconut milk without sugar 100 milligrams is added 3 tablespoons stevia and cocoa nibs well ground and stirred well.
Bon appétit!

Maria the taste of the cactus fruit is very refreshing and in places where it is very hot is an excellent choice.
Happy Sunday
I would love to try it!!
I never tried nopal before, I'm very curious about it...
Regardless that the fruit itself is very tasty, it must be very ripe to taste better its flavor and there is in that red color that I buy, green and yellow and there is a lodging also and the benefits of cactus are because it is a source of nutrients, such as vitamins A, C, K, and B6, as well as riboflavin (vitamin B2) and minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, and manganese. ... But especially the nopal is a great source of dietary fiber, which makes it very digestive.
I use it from raw in juices until roasted or boiled accompanied with a salad.
And so I can give you many recipes for this plant and its fruit my dear Jorge
Have a beautiful week
Gracias Gladys! these look so gorgeous and I always wondered what you do with these tuna's! i always saw the older folk where i live in spain picking them, i always wondered what dishes they would make with these, i'm going to have to try it as they are blooming all year round!
Well, you have the opportunity to make many recipes with cactus fruit from fresh water, a jam, make a salad dressing that tasty idea or how I made this recipe, or an ice cream, another make corn tortillas integrating the mix of the fruit.
Well that's what comes to my head now, even if there are more recipes I would have to think more.
Well, I hope that my comment will help you and start using more the nutrient and tasty Tuna
Have a nice day @celestiancow

Madre felicitaciones eso se ve muy rico. Dios bendiga sus manos.
Gracias chiquita que tengas hermosa tarde cuidate
Hola me encanto tu receta porque ademas de que se ve deliciosa tambien sus ingredientes son sanos y con un alto valor nutricional. Me gusto el uso de la stevia como endulzante! Y bueno ahora se que con el fruto de la planta de cactus se puede cocinar platos exquisitos. Gracias por compartir saludos.
si es increible lo que puedes usar en la cocina, siempre he dicho que la cocina es un gran laboratorio donde
hay que experimentar los sabores entre sí, experimentar entre ellos que siempre sale un resultado.
Como la fruta del cactus se pueden hacer muchas cosas como este postre helados combinarla como aderezo de ensalada y tantos más.
Bueno fue un gusto platicar contigo ahora voy a hacer la cena que es otra sorpresa que tengo para otra entrada y que gusto que estudies para chef se ve que te gusta mucho Anna muchas felicidades
que tengas una linda tarde.
The first time that I tried the prickly pear was when I went to Morocco for the first time! I was so in love with this product, unfortunately we don't have it in my country!
This dessert must surely be super yummy!
Great entry my friend! Glad to have you sharing this beautiful dish!
Yes Chef the taste of the prickly pear is delicious and eat the fruit only as fruit is delicious and very nutritious too. I'm sorry you can not eat it anymore.
And if you are right, the dessert was delicious an explosion of flavors!
