Step 1/5

For the filling, soak the figs and dates in hot water for about 10-15 minutes.

Step 2/5

In a blender, process pecan kernels and rolled oats into flour. Then add dates to flour mixture with a pinch of salt. Blend all ingredients until a crumbly but cohesive mixture is formed. Form the dough into a ball and set aside for now.

Place the soaked dates and figs in a blender with the remaining ingredients and blend until a spreadable mixture is formed. If necessary, simply add water.

Taking a quick food pic at the café, while moving the plates around to find the best natural lighting and perspective? For a person who lives for aesthetic food styling, that is simply undebatable! If she could, our content creator Artemis would turn nearly every cute visit to any vegan café into a huge food photography shoot, but of course she also doesn’t want to keep her friends and colleagues from digging into their cakes and coffees for too long. That’s why she reserves the more time consuming shoots for her home kitchen or the studio, where she creates super delicious and aesthetic recipe content for mainly the international Koro social channels.

Food and art also take up a huge part of Artemis’ personal life and she loves to share everything she creates and everything that excites her on her own Instagram and YouTube channel. Doesn’t matter if it’s illustrating, crocheting, cooking, baking or making and painting ceramics, name any creative project and Artemis is on board. And if then you have a soothing lofi-playlist running in the background and funny memes are exchanged in between as well, the absolute dream scenario for her has been achieved.
