The Coconut Chia Tarts recipe makes two tarts that are high in fibre, protein and omega 3 – perfect for those wanting a fresh dessert without the guilt.
Base:
- ¾ cup walnuts
- 1 cup pitted dates
- 1 tsp cold pressed coconut oil melted
- ¼ cup desiccated coconut
- pinch of Himalayan rock salt
- Add all of the ingredients into a food processor and blitz.
- Line the bottom of two mini cake tins with baking paper. Dividing the mixture in half, press into each pan forming the base of the tarts. Set aside.
Cashew layer:
- ½ cup (70g) cashew nuts soaked overnight
- 2 tbsp coconut cream
- 4 – 6 tbsp organic rice malt syrup
- ¼ tsp vanilla paste
- ½ cup coconut milk
- pinch of Himalayan rock salt
- 1 tsp agar and ¼ cup warm water for setting
- In a small pot, add 1 tsp agar and ¼ cup warm water. Stir and leave to soak while you make the cashew layer.
- Whilst soaking, add the cashew nuts, coconut cream, organic rice malt syrup, vanilla paste, Himalayan rock salt and coconut milk into a blender and blend until smooth.
- Bring the pot with agar to a boil on a medium heat, stirring constantly for a minute.
- Add the cashew layer and allow to simmer for 3 – 5 minutes, stirring continuously.
- Once relatively thick, remove from the heat and evenly pour mixture onto each tart base. Place in the refrigerator to set.
Chia layer:
- ¾ bottle of orange and passionfruit Chia drink
- 2 – 4 tbsp organic rice malt syrup
- 1 tsp agar and ¼ cup warm water
- Add 1 tsp agar and ¼ cup warm water in a pot, stir and leave to soak for a few minutes. Bring to a boil on a medium heat, stirring constantly for a minute.
- Add the Chia drink and rice malt syrup and allow to simmer for 3 – 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from the heat and pour into each mini cake tin, ensuring that the cashew layer has set enough to hold the Chia layer.
- Place in the refrigerator and allow to set overnight. Remove once set and serve cold.
