Lemon | Blackberry Swirl Tart

“A grapefruit is only a lemon that saw an opportunity and took advantage of it.”- Oscar Wilde

How fun! A brilliant blue tart, bursting with the zest of fresh lemons, swirled with blackberries and honey. This tart is raw, vegan friendly, and full of yumminess When blended the soaked cashews transform into a robust cream. Additionally, soaking nuts (for at least 4 hours) makes them highly digestible and the body absorbs the nutrients within them more easily. Even the greatest of skeptics is sure to fall in love, with this colorful flavor filled tart.

The color is achieved, by adding Blue Majik - a blue-green algae. I have taken the capsule form of spirulina off and on for years, and when taking, I notice an increase in overall energy level. One important consideration is where you purchase Blue Majik — I only use E3Live Blue Majik. This brand is raw, organic and made from the highest quality.

Serves: 12 small bites

Crust:

1 1/2 cup almond flour

2 pitted Medjool dates

3 Tablespoons softened coconut oil

1 Tablespoon raw sugar (optional)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

Filling:

1 1/2 cup raw soaked cashews

1/2 cup full fat coconut milk

Zest of 2 large lemons

Fresh juice from 2 large lemons

1/4 cup coconut oil (melted but not hot)

1/3 cup of sweetener (I measured 1/4 raw organic honey and then added maple syrup to measure 1/3 cup total)

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 Blue Majik capsules, contents only

Swirl:

1/4 cup fresh blackberries

1/2 teaspoon of raw honey (sweeten to your liking)

dash of salt

1. Soak raw cashews in filtered water overnight, in fridge, drain and rinse prior to using (at least 4 hours)

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

3. Add almond flour, dates, coconut oil, raw sugar, vanilla, and salt to food processor. Pulse until it resembles fine granules, like sand. Lightly grease tart pan and pour pulsed mixture into pan, use fingers to mold it into shape. Pierce crust with a fork a few times prior to baking. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes until golden brown.

4. Place soaked cashews, coconut milk, coconut cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, coconut oil, sweetener, and salt into food processor or blender. Blend until creamy. Add the Blue Majik by emptying out the contents of 3 capsules. Blend again until brilliant blue color is revealed.

5. Add Filling to cooled tart crust.

6. Add blackberries, honey, and salt to food processor. Blend until pureed.

7. Use a spoon to disperse droppings of blackberry puree over filling. You may not need to use all of the blackberry puree. Use the handle of spoon to swirl (careful not to over swirl).
