Ingredients
Scale
Almond Tarts:
- 1 ½ cups raw almonds
- 1 ½ cups quick-cooking oats (gluten-free)
- ⅓ cup chopped & pitted dates
- ¼ cup honey or pure maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Blueberry Filling:
- 1 ¼ cups raw cashews, soaked in warm water for 1 hour
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare Almond Tart Crust: In a food processor, pulse the raw almonds and quick-cooking oats for about one minute until they are ground into a fine powder. Add the chopped dates and process for an additional 30 seconds to combine. Then, add the honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and salt to the mixture. Continue processing for 1 to 2 minutes, scraping the sides down every 30 seconds, until the mixture starts to stick together, forming a dough-like consistency.
- Form Tart Shells: Using about 1 to 1½ tablespoons of dough, press the mixture firmly into mini cupcake cavities. Push the mixture evenly along the bottom and sides, shaping it into a cup shape approximately ¾ of the cavity’s height. Repeat this process until all the crust mixture is used, ensuring each tart shell is compact and holds together well.
- Prepare Blueberry Filling: Drain the soaked cashews and place them into the clean bowl of the food processor. Process for about 2 minutes until smooth and creamy. Add the fresh blueberries, honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and lemon juice. Process further for 2 to 3 minutes until the filling becomes nearly smooth but still maintains a slightly creamy texture.
- Fill Tarts and Chill: Spoon an even amount of the blueberry filling into each prepared almond tart shell, smoothing the tops as needed. Once all are filled, place the tarts in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to set properly and enhance flavor. Serve chilled and enjoy this wholesome, no-bake treat.
Notes
- Soak raw cashews in warm water for at least 1 hour to ensure a creamy filling texture.
- Use gluten-free oats to keep the recipe gluten-free.
- Maple syrup can be substituted for honey to make the recipe vegan.
- Ensure the tart shells are packed firmly to hold their shape when filled.
- Chilling time is essential for the filling to set properly.
- Store leftover tarts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
