This Lemon, Coconut and Vanilla Tart by Kelly Fielding was one of the first raw cakes I ever learned how to make. It is really simple, so always a good one to teach people new to raw desserts, and its creamy yet zesty filling is a crowd pleaser every time! Although I always like to use organic ingredients, whether you do or not, try and make the lemons organic in the recipe because you use the zest- and the skin is always the part of the fruit sprayed with the most pesticides, just a little helpful tip!
