Raw Berry Vanilla Cream Tarts [Vegan]
Ingredients
Crust:
- 1 cup oats, nuts or nut pulp (from nut milk production)
- 1 ¼ cups dates
Berries Filling:
- 1 cup frozen or fresh berries
- Water, as needed for consistency
Vanilla Cream:
- ⅔ cup cashews OR 3 frozen bananas
- ½ vanilla bean (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
- 1 tablespoon coconut nectar
- Water, as needed for blending
Nutritional information is calculated based on the oat and cashew options. Values may vary depending on ingredient substitutions.
Preparation Instructions
- To prepare the crust, pulse oats or other nuts into a fine flour in a food processor until combined with dates and forms a cohesive paste. Transfer to lined tart tins and press evenly into the base. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- For the cream filling: blend all ingredients (cashews/bananas, vanilla bean/extract, coconut nectar) in a blender or food processor until smooth, adding water as necessary for consistency.
- Assemble the tarts by spooning the berry and vanilla creams into the chilled crusts. Garnish with chia seeds, coconut shreds, or other toppings to enhance presentation before serving.
Notes
This recipe offers flexibility regarding nut allergies. You can easily create a nut-free version using only oats for the crust (ensure you have leftover dates). Alternatively, if nuts are used in the crust and/or cream, delicious results are still achievable without them – simply omit those ingredients.
