  • 1 cup macadamias or cashews or blanched almonds
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil

Topping Options

Instructions

  • Prepare the crust. Process the crust ingredients in a food processor or high speed blender until it resembles fine crumbs and sticks together when pressed. Halve mixture and place into 2 small tart pans and press down to form the base. Place in the freezer to set overnight or for a minimum of 4 hours.
  • Prepare the filling. Place ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until the mixture is nice and smooth. Pour on top of the bases and place in freezer to set for 2 hours. Then add your preferred topping and serve.

Notes

  1. Makes 2 small tarts (approx 11cm diameter each). Eart tart serves 2 as it is a very rich dessert.
  2. You can use either silicone pans or you can line regular tart pans with cling wrap to make it easier to remove. 
  3. I recommend storing in the refrigerator to maintain the consistency of the filling.
  4. The cook time does not include the time it takes for the bases and filling to set in the freezer.
