Servings: 12 tarts
Calories: 322kcal
Ingredients
for the crust:
- 1 ½ cup pitted dates
- 1 cup walnuts
- ½ cup pecans
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
for the filling:
- 2 cups soaked cashews
- ½ cup dairy-free milk
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup lime juice
- 1 tablespoon lime zest or more
Instructions
- For the crust: combine dates, walnuts, pecans, oil, and syrup in a food processor and pulse until everything is mixed together. You may want to do this in 2 batches.
- Grease a muffin tin with coconut oil then evenly distribute the crust, using your hands or a spoon to smash it down flat; place tin in the freezer.
- For the filling: place cashews, milk, oil, syrup, extract, and lime juice in a high-power blender and pulse. If mixture seems to be stuck, add additional milk 1 tablespoon at a time, but be careful not to add too much additional milk or the filling will be too thin.
- Pour cashew cream overtop of the 12 tart crusts, evenly distributing it.
- Sprinkle each tart with lime zest and place muffin tin back in the freezer for at least 20 minutes, allowing time for them to harden.
- Store tarts in the freezer and use a knife to remove tarts from muffin tin.
- Eat frozen OR leave out for 10 or so minutes, allowing time for them to thaw before eating.
- Enjoy!
