Crust (makes enough for one 5-inch tart):
1/4cuppitted dried prunesheaping
1/4cupraw walnutsheaping
generous pinch sea salt
Filling (makes enough for one 5-inch tart):
2tbspmacadamia nuts
2tbspfull-fat flaked coconut
1/2tbspflaxseed meal
1/2cuplarge frozen mango chunksthawed and drained
1/2cuplarge frozen pineapple chunksthawed and drained
pinch sea salt
Topping/garnishes (optional/flexible):
1kiwisliced into semicircle shapes
Freshly grated lemon or lime zest
Dark chocolate shavings
Instructions
Prepare the crust:
Prepare a 5-inch foil tart pan, or a reusable pan with a liner.
Add the ingredients to a blender or food processor and pulse until the mixture appears crumbly, but sticks together easily.
Press the crust into the prepared pan in an even layer, coming up about 1 and 1/2 inches around the sides. Place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before filling.
Prepare the filling:
Add the macadamia nuts and coconut to a blender or food processor and process them until as smooth as possible (for large food processors, you may not be able to get them very smooth because the volume will be too small, unless you scale this recipe to make more than one tart).
Add the flaxseed meal, mango, pineapple, and sea salt (if using), and process until completely smooth.
Let the mixture sit for at least 5 minutes, then scoop it into the prepared crust, and return the entire tart to the freezer.
In about an hour the tart should be firm enough to serve, and the crust should easily pop out of the tart pan. Top with any garnishes that you're using, slice, and serve. Store leftovers in the freezer.
Notes
To use fresh mango or pineapple, reduce the amount by volume to account for the water that drains from the frozen fruit.I had no problem eating the extra filling with a spoon, but I actually saved most of it for topping my morning oatmeal =]
