Mango Tart with Banana Creme
A delicious, healthy dessert...they won't believe it's 100% raw!
Ingredients:
Serves 8
- 1 cup raw cashew nuts
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 14 medjool dates (soak in water if very firm or dry)
- 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 large mangoes, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 1 small banana, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 tsp agave nectar or honey
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- coconut oil, to coat a glass pie dish
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries, blackberries, or blueberries
Directions:
Soak the cashew nuts and almonds separately overnight in water.
Drain, rinse, and thoroughly pat the almonds to dry. Spread on a towel and let dry for another 30 mins. Place almonds in a blender, and process into a meal. Add dates and coconut, and blend to form a sticky "dough", scraping the sides of the blender with a rubber spatula. Lightly coat a glass pie dish with the coconut oil. Press the mixture into the pie dish to form a "crust". Layer the crust with the mango slices.
Drain and rinse the cashews. Place in the blender with banana, agave nectar or honey, and vanilla. Blend until you get a smooth, rich cream. Spoon on to the tart. Garnish with berries, and serve.
Bon appetit!
