Raw Raspberry and Blackberry Tarts (vegan and gluten free)

Ingredients

6 medjool dates

1/2 cup hazelnuts

1 tbsp chia seeds

Pinch sea salt

2 tbsp raw cacao

Raspberry filling;

1/2 cup raspberries

1/2 cup coconut oil

2 tsp maple syrup or coconut syrup

1 tsp almond essence

Blackberry filling;

1/2 cup blackberries

1/2 cup coconut oil

1 tsp vanilla essence

2 tsp maple syrup or coconut syrup

Directions

Add all the base ingredients to your food processor and blitz until the mix comes together.

Remove the mix and divide into four. Press the mix into the bottom and edges of the tart

cases (I used 9cm) and up the sides. Pop in the fridge while you get the filling ready.

Melt 1/2 cup coconut oil very gently in a saucepan then add to the cleaned food processor.

Add in the raspberries, sweetener and almond essence. Blitz to combine until smooth.

Remove two of the tart bases from the fridge and add the filling. Pop back in the fridge to

firm up.

Repeat with the process to make blackberry filling and add to the two remaining tart bases.

Return to the fridge and let them chill for at least 30 minutes.

Remove from the fridge and top with berries. Enjoy

Organic is BOOMing.....and it's time to celebrate There has been a real shift towards people wanting to know the origins of what they're eating - from where it was grown to who planted the seeds - and organic produce has these values at its core.

2016 marks the 70th anniversary of the Soil Association, the the UK's leading membership charity campaigning for healthy, humane and sustainable food, farming and land use. Not only that, but they're also celebrating 30 years of their Organic Awards, honoring the people and businesses who work so hard to make a difference to change our food system for the better.
