Ingredients

Base

  • 1 Cup Almonds (preferably activated)
  • 1 Cup Pecans (preferably activated)
  • 1 Cup Gluten Free Oats (or cashews or almonds)
  • 1 Pinch Salt
  • 1/3 Cup Coconut Oil (melted)
  • 5 Medjool Dates (seeds removed and chopped into small pieces)

Banana Cream Filling

  • 1 Cup Homemade Coconut Yogurt
  • 1 1/4 Cup Cashew (soaked in water with 1 teaspoon of salt for 2 hours)
  • 2 Bananas (over ripe)
  • 8 Medjool Dates (seeds removed)
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Sugar (or raw honey)
  • 1/3 Cup Coconut Oil (firm set or melted is fine)

Topping

  • 1/2 Cup Thick Homemade Coconut Yogurt
  • 1 tbsp Raw Honey or Maple Syrup
  • 2 Medjool Dates (seeds removed and chopped into strips)
  • 1 Banana
  • 2-3 Squares 70% Dark Chocolate grated (omit for SCD and substitute with toasted shredded coconut)

Instructions

Base

  • Grease the bottom and sides of a 27cm tart tin (with removable base) with coconut oil.
  • Place the nuts into Vibe blender jug and 'pulse' twice to break them into small pieces.
  • Add the remaining base ingredients and 'pulse' another 2 times.
  • Run a spatula down under the ingredients and around the blades.
  • Continue to pulse until the consistency is a sticky crumb.
  • Run the spatula under the blades again if required. Do not over blend and don't worry if there are larger pieces of nut in the mixture.
  • Pour the nut mixture into the prepared in and press down with the back of the spoon to form a solid base.
  • Place the base in the fridge until the cream filling is ready. There is no need to wash the blender jug for the cream filling.

Banana Cream Filling

  • Drain the cashew in a colander or sieve, then rinse under running water to remove the salt.
  • Add all the ingredients into the Vibe blender jug in the order listed.
  • Insert the tamper into the lid and secure it on the jug.
  • Blend on 'smoothie' mode for 30 seconds, or until a smooth, creamy paste using the tamper to push the cashews down into the blades.
  • Pour the filling mixture onto the tart base then return to the fridge for 1 hour to set.

Topping

  • Slice the banana into coins and decorate the top of the tart.
  • Combine the homemade coconut yogurt (no watery yogurt) and honey or maple syrup in a small jug, then drizzle over the banana.
  • Sprinkle with pieces of sliced medjool date and grated dark chocolate.
  • Place in the fridge to set. Store in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Enjoy straight from the fridge as the tart becomes soft in warm weather.
