Just where did you get it from? I thought you were from the USA?I got this thing a while ago, and I think I'm supposed to put everything in a pot of water and boil it, but how long should I cook it? Is there a specific order I need to add things to the pot? Should I pre-soak some of the ingredients and discard the water I used to soak them?

seems self explanatory just from the picture. Boil it, maybe put the ingredients to take the longest to cook in first for a few minutes and then the other stuff. Like how most soups work.I got this thing a while ago, and I think I'm supposed to put everything in a pot of water and boil it, but how long should I cook it?

no, those are goji berries, just very inflated due to being soaked/simmered in water
oh thank god. Was about to pull out the cross and holy water. Carrots simply do not belong in a dessert. Closest thing you can do is sweet potato
But carrot cake is tasty…
never had baked carrots with butter, brown sugar & cinnamon? They taste pretty good, similar to a sweet potato
Thanks! That helps a lot :)
Yes, but I got this particular treat online. In a physical store, I probably would have put it back on the shelf after looking at both sides of the package and not finding any directions.
No, there are no carrots in there, but haven't you ever heard of carrot cake?
yeah, because the carrots add nothing flavor-wise and are only added so it can be CALLED carrot cake as an old marketing trick and to give it a slight bit of color. You can literally substitute it for most other root vegetable and have it taste the same since they're rather neutral in flavor so the sugar and vanilla drown it out
if i was going to so that, i'd just use a sweet potato or yams. As is the proper recipe. I almost never use carrots for anything but soups or stir fries. Desserts? nah man. I get it, they have a fairly neutral flavor so you can do basically anything with it. Its like rice. You can give it whatever flavors you want. But i just dont use or buy carrots often and i hated them as a kid so they can be used in a dinner but not a dessert. Its a personal thing, really, but i stand by my opinion.
The way some of those ingredients expanded was truly impressive. I had to switch to bigger bowls for soaking. The final result seems like a natural, more exciting version of gelatin desserts. I like the various textures in there. I think it's well worth a repeat.
