Raspberry Nutella Tarts

Melissa King 7 Comments

I have said this before, but growing up with a German mother meant we ate a lot of Nutella.  I loved it as a child.  Now I know that store bought Nutella is very unhealthy.  So I have created my own Healthy Homemade Nutella.  I have used it in many dishes on this blog.  Now it is time for a Raspberry Nutella Tart.

We all need to enjoy a tart every once and a while.  I love them and they are perfect for summer.  There is no cooking involved!  These are completely raw.  They are also vegan, grain free and gluten free!  If you feel compelled to cook the crust, you can.  You just don’t need to.  These are very easy to make even though they look kind of fancy.

Prep Time 30 min Serves 5 tarts     adjust servings

Ingredients

    For the crust

    For the filling

    For the fruit

    • 2 cups fresh raspberries or strawberries

    Instructions

      For the crust

      1. In a food processor , grind up the almonds until they are a course consistency.
      2. Once they are ground, add in the dates and water until the dough comes together. If you are not using a high powered food processor , you might want to soak the dates for 5 minutes in water to soften them.
      3. Grease your tart pan or mini tart pan s and then press the dough into the pan and up the sides. The dough will be sticky and I find that working with wet hands helps.
      4. Once the dough is set into all the tarts, place them in the fridge to firm up. About 30 minutes.

      For the filling

      1. While the tarts are setting up, you can make the filling. In the food processor , grind up the hazelnuts into as fine of a powder you can get them.
      2. Once they are ground, add in the remaining ingredients. If the mixture seems too thick, you can always add a bit more milk.
      3. Once the crusts are set, spoon the filling into each one and top with the fruit.
      4. Enjoy!

      Healthy Key Lime Tarts (Vegan and Paleo)

      Healthy Key Lime Tarts.  One of the things I think of during summer is healthy key lime tarts.  I knew I had to find a way to make a healthy key lime vegan tart recipe.

      My father-in-law loves all things key lime and he loved this key lime tart recipe!  I had him come over and taste test them.  If you like my Key Lime Larabars, you will love these key lime tarts!

       

      Healthy Key Lime Tarts

       

      I had soaked some cashews because I was making some Smoky Sweet Potato Tacos and the recipe called for a maple cream.

      I thought they were plenty sweet and didn’t end up making the cream part.  The tacos were bomb though!

      I used the extra cashew cream in this recipe. These little tarts are vegan, grain free, gluten free and raw.  I hope you enjoy them as much as we did.

      Prep Time 2 hr Serves 5 - 6 servings     adjust servings

      Ingredients

        For the crust

        For the filling

        Instructions

          For the crust

          1. Soak the cashews overnight and then drain and rinse.
          2. In the food processor , grind up the salt, almonds and pecans until they are a course/crumbly texture.
          3. Add the dates and pulse until a dough starts to form. You may need to add a couple tablespoons of water or oil if the dough is not holding well.
          4. Press the dough into individual greased tart pans . I have the kind with the removable bottoms. Makes it real easy to remove them afterward. I got five out of my batch. It helps to use wet hands while forming the dough into place.
          5. Once all the dough is formed in the cups, place in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm the dough back up.

          For the filling

          1. While the dough is firming back up, you can start on the filling. Throw the cashews, coconut milk, sweetener and lime juice in a blender and blend until smooth. I used my Vitamix . Take a taste. If you like it a little more tart, add some more lime juice.
          2. Pour the contents into the tart shells and let chill in the fridge for a couple hours. That’s it!
