Raw Vegan Gluten Free Strawberry Tart with Macerated Strawberry Topping

VG, GF

I really love a raw dessert. I find baking tiresome at times so being able to just whip something up and throw it in the fridge is satisfying and rather therapeutic.

This raw vegan strawberry tart is gluten free and full of goodies. It's perfect for a warm spring evening - enjoy!

Base:

3/4 C raw cashews

3/4 C almond meal

1/2 C dates

2 Tbsp white chia seeds

1 Tbsp coconut oil

Blend all ingredients until you reach a rough crumb and press into a greased pie dish

Filling:

250g strawberries hulled

300g organic firm tofu

1 Tbsp coconut oil

1 Tbsp maple syrup

Pinch salt

Blend all ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Pour into base and put in the fridge for at least two hours.

Topping:

250g strawberries hulled
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp maple syrup

Combine and leave in a bowl for at least 30 mins so the strawberries macerate. Pour on top of the tart just before serving.
