These little tarts are a delicious way to introduce people to raw food! The filling is rich yet subtle and light and the bases hold together well without needing to be dehydrated. You could try some other fillings too- perhaps a pumpkin and coriander or avocado and basil. You can be creative if you like! This filling is really lovely and is great just as a dip or spread also if you wish to double the recipe and have extra!

- Place the bases in the fridge while you make the filling.
- Place all of the ingredients in a high speed blender and blend until the mixture is very smooth and creamy. You may need to add a touch more water, but try and keep the mixture firm and not too runny.
