“In my garden, I grow loads of flowers for our local pollinators, and as I remove blooms to create more growth, I find myself with an abundance of edible flowers,” says farmer-forager and model Indy Officinalis. “These mini cheesecakes are an homage to the power of flowers: In the garden they attract beneficial bugs, and on the plate they are similar, helping foster beneficial relationships and strengthening community (it's pretty easy to make friends when you feed them lots of healthy sweets). Because I give away the desserts to the unhoused community in Los Angeles, I like to add superfoods to help keep our city healthy. Matcha and spirulina impart wonderful hues of blue and green, and are also packed with essential micronutrients and antioxidants. This is one of my most favorite recipes to create because it's simple, beautiful and delicious.”
