What should I do if my tart crust mixture is too crumbly?

If your crust mixture is too crumbly to press into the tart shells, you can add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to help bind it together into a dough-like consistency.

Is it important to soak the dates for the caramel filling?

Yes, it's recommended to soak the 7-10 dates for about 30 minutes. Crucially, do not discard the soaking water as it can be used to achieve the perfect caramel consistency.

How do I ensure the caramel filling reaches the right consistency?

After processing the ingredients (excluding coconut flakes and chia seeds), taste the caramel filling. You may need to add water (preferably the date soaking water) or more of the other ingredients and continue processing until it reaches a 'mind-blowing' creamy texture.

How can I prevent the tart shells from breaking when removing them from the mold?

After the filled tarts have frozen for about 30 minutes, carefully take them out of the mold to prevent the crust from breaking. Chill them until ready to serve.

What are some ideas for decorating this tart?

The recipe suggests decorating with goji berries, but you can use anything else you prefer to add a personal touch and visual appeal to your finished tart.

How to Prepare Goji Berry Caramel Tart [Vegan]

Crust

Process all ingredients until it's like dough (but a little crumbly). Press it into your favourite tart shells and freeze while you're making the filling.

Caramel Filling

Process Brazil nuts into fine pieces, add all other ingredients EXCEPT coconut flakes and chia seeds. Process until it has a caramel-y consistency. You may need to add some water or more of the other ingredients. Try it. Your mind should be exploding now. If not, continue tampering until it reaches the mind-blowing stage. Add the coconut flakes and gelled chia.
Spoon this into the frozen tart shell crusts and let it freeze for maybe another 30 minutes. Then carefully take the crust out of the mold, not letting it break! Chill until you need them, and decorate with goji berries or anything else!
