I love making desserts & sweets! I especially love making a healthier spin on an old favorite! I made a great version on a lemon meringue pie last week, it was delicious, it looked amazing and I would share it with you except that my photographer deleted the photo & I can’t have a recipe without a photo. It wouldn’t be right. I won’t even buy recipe books if there isn’t a picture of every single thing… Who am I kidding, I don’t buy recipe books, BUT if I did, I wouldn’t buy one without pictures. Anyway, my point is, I am gong to have to make the lemon meringue pie, chocolate banana bread & strawberry choc chip brownies again & get pictures before you can have the recipes, woe is me. Until then, make Passionfruit tarts, they are awesome. You can leave the cacao out if the idea of chocolate & Passionfruit weirds you out, that would obviously make you a weirdo because chocolate goes with everything but who am I to judge.
BASE-
200g coconut
2 heaped tbs nut butter
4 fresh dates
2 heaped tbs raw cacao (optional)
FILLING-
1/2 cup Passionfruit pulp
1 heaped tsp fresh grated ginger (optional)
200g raw cashews, soaked for at least an hour in water & drained
250ml coconut cream
Pinch stevia or 2-3 tbs maple syrup
For the base blitz everything in the food processor until it comes together like a dough. Press into the bottom of cupcake or tart moulds.
For the filling- add the cashews & coconut cream to the food processor & blend until smooth. Add ginger & the sweetener of your choice & blend to combine. Stir through Passionfruit pulp. Spoon into moulds on top of base and pop in the fridge to set overnight or in the freezer for a few hours. Once set, remove from moulds, place in mouth, enjoy.
