A recipe from Mindfully Jessica and Califia Farms
Raw, vegan, dairy free, gluten free and totally rich and satisfying. You only need a tiny slice and you’re in fudgey chocolate heaven! It uses Califia Farms Chocolate Coconut Almond Blend which is delicious, dairy free, low in sugar and made with a blend of almond milk and coconut cream for creaminess.
Ingredients:
BASE
1/2 cup almonds
1/2 cup pecans
1 cup pitted medjool dates
Pinch of salt
1 tbsp rice malt or maple syrup (if mixture is dry)
FILLING
1 cup cashews, soaked for a few hours.
1/3 cup Califia Farms Chocolate Coconut Almond Blend
1/2 cup melted chocolate Easter Eggs (dairy-free to keep recipe plant-based)
Method:
- Process the nuts into fine pieces in a food processor.
- Add in the medjool dates and salt, and pulse until the mixture combines evenly.
- Add a dash of syrup if extra moisture is needed to get the base to stick together.
- Press into a cake tin. I used a rectangle quiche tin.
- Drain and rinse the cashews well. Add them to a high-powered blender along with all the other filling ingredients and blend until completely smooth.
- Pour into the base and smooth out. Place the tart into the freezer to firm up.
- When ready to serve, decorate with fresh berries, almonds and coconut. Enjoy this slice after a few minutes out of the freezer, but for best results store in the freezer until ready eat!
