I just finished talking about sweet potato pie in the parsnips thread.
It got me thinking about desserts with a vegetable base. Add to this
list, please:


Carrot cake
Pumpkin muffins
Pumpkin pie
Sweet potato pie
Zucchini bread.


There's an Indian carrot pudding with cardamom and a name I can't
remember that goes on the list too.


I'm thinking of desserts where there's a significant amount of
vegetable, not something sneaked in where it doesn't have flavor.

Julia,

I await the New Jersey "Fresh" tomato harvest. Sweet! Eat 'em like apples.

Carrot cake as you mentioned is first rate!

Best,

c Rhubarb pie

Rhubarb pie is very good but rhubarb is one of those confusing
vegetables that most think of as fruit. Going the other way,
lots of people like rice pudding and there are cakes made using
ground rice flour. Another problem is the fruit, the tomato,
that is usually treated as a vegetable. A concoction that I
liked as a child was tomatoes with *sugar* and the sweetish
British cousin of mayonnaise, salad cream.. I remember the taste
as being reminiscent of strawberries!

After having lunch at a Japanese restaurant yesterday, it
occurred to me that tempura sweet potatoes (that I like a lot!)
or even squash are quite sweet and would make good desserts.

Does the chocolate cake made with sauerkraut count?

It should, depending on how much sauerkraut is used. Actually, that's a
good one. I was thinking that cabbage could never be used in dessert,
but chocolate cake is the perfect exception. Is that called German
chocolate cake?


This list now looks like this:

Carrot cake
Pumpkin muffins
Pumpkin pie
Rhubarb pie
Sauerkraut chocolate cake
Sweet potato pie
Zucchini bread

Isn't the gist of Jerry Seinfeld's wife's book to get kids to eat
veggies?

I think she hid carrots or spinach in brownies.

Hey, I just thought of something else.
Peanuts are technically legumes, so they would qualify......also,
tomatoes are technically a fruit.

Pumpkin is a fruit.

Zucchini bread.

So is zucchini.

Rhubarb pie
Gingerbread
Tapioca pudding

Well it only uses 2/3 cup. The same book in which I have this recipe also
contains one for zucchini chocolate cake using TWO cups of grted zucchs, and
also (dare I say it?) a RED BEET chocolate cake which uses 1.5 cups of
pureed beets.

I hope for those of you who are beet averse that you are not reading this
post over brekkie....

The Chinese make buns filled with sweet bean paste.

There are many sweets based on taro

Sweetened cornbreads make my dessert list: they're much too sweet
to use as bread.

Any pumpkin based dessert has a winter-squash analog.

My late MIL used to make green tomato mincemeat pie and my mom made pie
with Blue Hubbard squash, very similar to puimpkin but slightly
different flavor.

Parsnip pie. Similar principle to sweet potato or pumpkin pie.
