About That Tart....

Remember this guy?




I happened to think it was delightfully tangy, but TH declared it wasn't decadent enough for him.  He finished one with minimal help from me, so it couldn't have been that bad.  Here's how I made it, in case you are interested in a tart tart.

Coconut Crust
Soak three dates in a 1/2 cup measuring cup filled with water. 
When softened, blend (or food process) the dates and the soak water with:
1 cup coconut
a pinch of salt
Pat crust into tart pans. 


Key Lime Filling 
½ cup coconut
1 ½ cup coconut water
2 small avocados
1 ripe banana
2 tbsp irish moss gel
3 limes juiced + 1 tbsp lime zest
1 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
½ tsp spirulina (optional; for color)
3 tbsp coconut palm sugar (or other sweetener of choice)
¼ cup melted coconut oil

For my favorite part, the whipped cream, I altered the Almond Cream recipe from Delightfully Raw (skipped the almond extract and subbed mac nuts for cashews).  I'm glad the recipe made a large amount because I ate a lot straight out of Viv.


Question:  What do you eat straight out of the blender?
