Ingredients

  • For the crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs or digestive biscuits
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • For the violet filling:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup violet syrup or violet liqueur
  • 1 tbsp unflavored gelatin powder

  • 1–2 drops purple food coloring (optional)
  • For garnish (optional):
  • Whipped cream
  • Edible flowers (e.g., violets, pansies)
  • Fresh berries
  • Mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press mixture into a tart pan to form the crust. Chill while preparing filling.
  2. Bloom gelatin in water for 5 minutes. Gently heat to dissolve and set aside.
  3. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk, violet syrup, and food coloring if using. Mix until well combined.
  4. Whip heavy cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form.
  5. Fold whipped cream into the violet mixture, then stir in the dissolved gelatin.
  6. Pour filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set.
  8. Before serving, garnish with whipped cream, edible flowers, berries, and mint if desired.

Notes

  • Add a layer of berry compote over the crust for a fruity twist.
  • Substitute violet syrup with lavender or rose syrup if needed.
  • Use mini tart pans or ramekins for individual servings.
  • Use agar-agar and plant-based dairy alternatives for a vegan version.
  • Chill the crust thoroughly to keep it firm without baking.
