Equipment

  • 2 small tart pans approximately 5.12 inches/13cm in diameter

Ingredients
 
 

Base

  • 6 medjool dates pits removed
  • 1/2 cup cashews or macadamias or almonds
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut

Lemon Coconut Cream

  • 1/2 cup cashews or macadamias, soaked for a minimum 4 hours
  • 14.1 oz coconut cream placed in the fridge for a minimum 4 hours
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Topping

  • Handful Blueberries

Instructions
 

  • Make the bases. Process the medjool dates, macadamias/cashews and dessicated coconut in a food processor or high speed blender until it resembles fine crumbs and sticks together when pressed. Place into 2 small tart molds lined with cling wrap (or silicine molds if you have them) and press down to form the base. Place them in the freezer to set for a minimum 4 hours
  • Make the lemon cream. Scrape out the cream from the can (leaving the liquid) and place in a blender with the lemon juice, macadamias and maple syrup, blending for a few minutes until the mixture is nice and smooth. Place in the bowl and refrigerate for a minimum 4 hours.
  • To serve. When ready to serve, remove the tarts from their pans, remove the cling wrap (if using) and place the lemon cream into each tart. Top with the blueberries

Notes

  • These are quite rich so one tart comfortably serves two people.
  • Add a few drops of lemon essential oil when making the lemon cream. It will really intensify the flavor.
  • The four hours inactive time is the time it takes to soak the nuts for the lemon cream and the time it takes to set the bases in the freezer, which you can do at the same time.
