🥧 Scroll 002: Velvet Icebox Pie — The Frostkeeper’s Crown
“Summer held in suspension: a cool slice of light, no oven, just patience and a whisper of citrus.”
⚖ Archetype: The Frostkeeper
The Frostkeeper knows that rest is an ingredient. She folds sweetness into stillness, chills the hurry out of the room, and serves a wedge that tastes like relief.
✨ The Mythic Bite
Silky-cool filling melts like a cloud, bright with citrus or berries, set over a crumb that crackles—gingersnap heat, buttered graham, or cocoa hush. The slice lands on the tongue and the whole day exhales.
🌿 Healing Gifts
- Citrus & Berries: Vitamin C and polyphenols for a clean lift.
- Greek Yogurt/Mascarpone: Protein and probiotic comfort (choose your path).
- Nuts & Seeds (in crust): Minerals and satisfying crunch.
