    Raw Fruit Tartlet

    2-3

    These were just something special. So colorful, simple and delicious! A classic fruit tart, the kind I remember enjoying with mixed fruit. We had this wonderful little grocery store in Claremont, Ca called Wolfe's Market that sold fruit tarts in their bakery and I would always pick one up when... Read More

    How to Prepare Raw Fruit Tartlet

    1. Make your cashew sweet cream and keep in the fridge for at least three hours. This can also be made a day or two ahead.
    2. Make your crust by combining all the ingredients, except water, into a food processor/blender and blend until combined and somewhat chunky. Add one tablespoon of water, process until dough forms. Add the extra tablespoon of water if needed. I used it but you may find in your climate or altitude that you may not need it. We don't want the dough too wet, just enough so that it combines nicely. Cover and place in refrigerator for 20 min to stiffen a bit.
    3. While dough is setting, prepare your fruits and set aside.
    4. Using molds of choice, line each with a piece of saran wrap like the picture shown above. Fill each pan with a layer of dough, about 1/4 inch thick, by pressing firmly yet gently into place. Fill each tartlet with cashew sweet cream, almost to the rim, and level out, top with fruit. To remove tart from mold, gently lift the edges of saran wrap, place on flat surface and using a spatula carefully wedge under the tart and move to desired flat surface. You can prepare these a couple hours ahead, cover with saran wrap and store in the refrigerator until ready to eat. Makes 2 three inch fruit tarts using the mini cake molds. Each fruit tart is about 2 serving.

    Notes

    If using classic tartlet mold, the cashew sweet cream will fill all six and the crust will cover three. If using mini cake pans like I did, the cream will fill three and the crust will cover two.

    1. I generally make a 9″ raw, vegan mousse. For that, I use these proportions to make the cashew cream:
      1 cup raw, organic cashews (soak for 3-4 hours, rinse well)
      1/4 cup unrefined, organic coconut oil (warm to liquid form)
      1/4 cup organic, raw coconut nectar
      1 teaspoon organic vanilla
      1/4 cup water

      Blend cashews, coconut nectar, water and vanilla until creamy. Then, add coconut oil and blend until smooth (about 1-2 minutes)

      I use a Vitamix blender. You need a high speed blender. I hope this helps! It is delicious! Just add 1/3 cup of raw, organic cacao powder when you add the coconut oil if you want a chocolate cashew cream.

      1. I haven’t tried any of these but have read they can be used in place of raw cashews: organic pine nuts, organic almonds, organic walnuts, organic hazelnuts, soaked, organic sunflower seeds, young coconut meat, raw hemp seeds.

    2. I agree, where is the recipe for cashew sweet cream? I would love to make this as I am trying incorporate more raw foods into my diet?
