Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

Canola oil, for greasing
Crust:
1/2 cup Medjool dates, pitted
1 cup pecans
Filling:
2/3 cup plain cashews, soaked (see cooks' note)
1/4 cup Medjool dates, pitted
Seeds from 1 vanilla pod
Fruit:
Large handful of blueberries (about 1/4 cup)
Large handful of raspberries (about 1/4 cup)
Large handful of blackberries (about 1/4 cup)
To serve:
Leaves from 1/2 bunch of fresh mint or basil

Steps:

  • Grease four (5-inch) individual, loose-bottomed, fluted or straight-sided tart tins and set aside on a tray.
  • Place the dates and pecans for the crust in a food processor or mini blender and blitz until they start to clump together. Divide this mixture equally among the tins. Press the mixture onto the base and up the sides of each one, making sure it is of even thickness. Place in the fridge to set for 30 minutes while you get on with the rest of the recipe.
  • Place the soaked and drained cashews, the dates and vanilla seeds in a food processor or mini blender along with 1/2 cup of cold water. Blend until as smooth as possible to give a creamy mixture.
  • Once the tart bases have set and are feeling firm, remove them from the fridge and divide the cashew cream among them. Spread it out evenly with the back of the spoon. Top with the berries and then scatter over the mint or basil to serve.

I was a bit disappointed with these tarts. The crust was too thick and the filling was too runny. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These tarts were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, they were very well-made and I enjoyed the combination of flavors.

I found that the crust was a bit too crumbly for my liking, but the filling was absolutely divine.

The tarts were a bit more time-consuming to make than I expected, but they were definitely worth the effort. The presentation was beautiful and the taste was even better.

I love that this recipe uses cashew cream instead of traditional dairy. It made the tarts lighter and healthier, without sacrificing any of the flavor.
