How do I make the crust for these tartlets?

The crust is made by processing 1 cup of raw mixed nuts into a meal, then blending with 3 tablespoons of cacao powder and 3 tablespoons of maple syrup until sticky, then pressed into tartlet pans.

What gives the strawberry creme its flavor and color?

The strawberry creme gets its flavor and vibrant color from a 1.2-ounce bag of freeze-dried strawberries blended with full-fat coconut milk and maple syrup.

Can I use fresh strawberries instead of freeze-dried?

The recipe specifically calls for freeze-dried strawberries or strawberry powder to achieve the desired consistency and concentrated flavor for the creme. Fresh strawberries would add too much moisture.

How do I decorate the tartlets?

Decorate the tartlets by melting 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil, pouring into a plastic bag, cutting the tip, and drizzling over the tarts, then garnishing with freeze-dried fruit.

How should I store leftover Paleo Strawberry Creme Tartlets?

Store any leftover strawberry creme tartlets in the refrigerator to keep the filling set.

How to Prepare Paleo Strawberry Creme Tartlets [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Process 1 cup of mixed raw nuts with an "S"-blade until it was nut meal. I then blended in 3 tablespoons of cacao powder and 3 tablespoons of maple syrup until it turned into a sticky ball.
Press the nut picture into 2 tartlet pans and set in the refrigerator.
Pour the liquid and cream from the coconut milk or 2/3 of the can of coconut cream into a blender.
Add 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and blend. If it’s blending smoothly, then carefully add 95 percent of the bag of freeze-dried fruit to the coconut in the blender.
Pour your strawberry creme into the crust and place your dessert in the refrigerator to set. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
Take 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon (or less) of coconut oil in heat them slowly on the stove or in the microwave. Mix chocolate and oil together, then pour into a sealable plastic bag, cut the tip, and decorate the tart. Garnish with freeze-dried fruit and serve.
