These healthy lemon tarts are the go-to summer dessert. They’re light, zesty, luscious, creamy, silky smooth and the ideal way to finish a meal during the hot months of summer.
The lemon filling is made with a luscious mixture of coconut cream and white chocolate, that’s spiked with the heavenly scent of vanilla bean, a drizzle of honey to make the filling just sweet enough and of course a good kick of zesty lemon to give the tarts their unmistakable citrus-y tang.
Every bite you’ll take is seriously so delicious. The tart crust is made of almonds, cashews, coconut and a few medjool dates. When combined with the luscious filling it make’s for a mouth watering dessert that’s tangy, creamy, silky yet not overly sweet. Hands down this flavour combo is my favourite summer dessert, ever! And I may be a little biased, but the prettiest too! How adorable do those raspberries look nestled on top of the tarts under a cheeky drizzle of honey. So beautiful.
Ok, these tarts are delicious. Enough said. BUT! They’re also super easy to make. The base comes together in a food processor and is then pressed into tart tins needing no special care or attention. Fuss-free and so easy!
And the filling is as simple as heating the coconut cream, pouring over white chocolate and leaving to stand for 3 minutes. Whisk in the coconut oil, vanilla, honey, lemon juice and zest and voila you’re ready to pour the silky creamy filling into the awaiting bases.
After a short stint in the fridge to set, tarts are ready to be adorned with a little reserved crumb, fresh raspberries and the tiniest drizzle of honey. YUMMY!
