  • 3/4 cup (110 grams) cashews
  • 1/2 cup (40 grams) desiccated coconut
  •  8 medjool dates, pitted
  • 6 tablespoons coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled
  • pinch of salt

Lemon Filing:

  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or extract)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • zest and juice of 2 lemons

Instructions

  1. Grease 4 x small loose bottom tart tins with melted coconut oil. Set aside.

To make the base:

  1. Place the almonds, cashews, coconut, dates, coconut oil and salt into the large bowl of a food processor.
  2. Blitz for 2-3 minutes or until thoroughly combined and the mixture holds shape.
  3. Reserve two tablespoons of the mixture and pop into the fridge [to decorate tarts with later].

  5. Place tart shells into the freezer whilst you prepare the filling.

To make the lemon filling:

  2. Take the saucepan off heat and place onto a wooden board.
