I was out doing my weekly shopping and was overcome by the beauty of fresh berries all around me. The colors of blueberries, raspberries and strawberries are so inviting. I gave in to Trader Joe's peer pressure and put them in my basket. Immediately the recipe for a raw berry tart started to take shape.
Berry Tart
Crust
1/2 Cup Oats
1/2 Cup Unsweetened, Flake Coconut
1 tbs Coconut oil
3 softened dates
Put all ingredients in the food processor and pulse until small pea-sized balls appear. Poor into standard pie plate and press around the edges. Place crust in refrigerator while preparing filling.
Filling
1 cup cashews (soaked for at least 1 hour)
1 banana
juice and zest of one lime
1tbs honey
a drizzle of vanilla
Put all ingredients in the food processor. Process until smooth and creamy - the longer the better. Spread filling in crust.
Topping
Use what berries you find the most delectable. The ones that were pressuring me in the grocery store were raspberries and blueberries. I used about 2 cups total. Gently press them down into the filling. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving. The colder it is when you serve the more it will stay together.
