Raw Blueberry Raspberry Tart
Celebrate 4th of July this year with a healthy, delicious raw berry tart. Ditch the traditional tartlet ingredients such as eggs, flour, sugar and butter (the sources of inflammation) and substitute for the raw goodies. Not sure about coconut oil?Try it! Coconut oil is actually beneficial for the body. It is made up of medium chain fatty acids that get used as energy, rather then being stored as fat. In addition, it helps to nourish the thyroid, act as an anti-bacterial and make the skin glow.
Serves 4
1 cup of pecans
1/2 cup of pitted dates
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp virgin coconut oil
Filling:
1/2 cup of raw cashews
1/8 cup of water
1/2 lemon
1 tsbp agave nectar
1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
1/8 cup virgin coconut oil
Topping:
1/2 cup of blueberries
1/2 cup of raspberries
Directions:
In a food processor, blend crust ingredients until crumbly. Take a piece of parchment paper and place on top of each tartlet. Spoon 1/4 of the crust mixture on top of the parchment paper. With your hand press the mixture into the mold. Repeat with the remaining 3 tartlets. Pour 1/4 of the filling into each crust. Top with blueberries and raspberries. Refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the crust to firm and hold. When ready to serve remove the parchment paper and enjoy.
