Ingredients
Crust:
1 cup raw almond
1/2 cup raw walnuts
1/3 cup Medjool dates pitted
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
pinch sea salt
Cream:
1/4 cup cashews
1 frozen banana peeled
zest of 1 lemon
2 TBSP water
Topping:
2 cups strawberries chopped
1 TBSP agave syrup (optional)*
4 leaves fresh mint
1 TBSP shredded coconut
Directions | Numbered...
1) In a food processor pulse the almonds and walnuts into a coarse meal. Add the dates, vanilla and sea salt, and pulse to combine. The crust should hold together when firmly pressed between your thumb and fingers. Distribute evenly in a medium sized tart pan (a springform pan would also work well).
2) In a food processor churn the cashews into a paste. Add the remaining filling ingredients and blend until smooth. Spread an even layer of the filling into the prepared tart pan – an off-set spatula works well for this task.
3) Top the creamy filling with the chopped strawberries, a chiffonade of mint and a spring of coconut.
4) Chopping the strawberries allows for a rustic sprinkle across the tart. Thinly slicing the berries would allow for a more artistic arrangement. To chiffonade the mint, simple roll up the leaves into a cigar shape and thinly slice widthwise.
5) Chill the tart until ready to serve.
*If your strawberries need a boost of sweetness, toss in agave before topping the tart. |
