Servings 4 Large

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup sunflower seeds, soaked
  • ⅓ cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds), soaked
  • 1 heaping cup of dates, roughly 14 large - pit removed
  • 2 tbsp goji berries (optional)
  • ⅔ cup hemp seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • ⅛ cup coconut flakes

Filling

  • Zest from 1 lime
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • 3 tbsp Coconut oil
  • 2/3 cup Coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp Maple
  • I/8 cup Coconut flakes (meat preferred)
  • Pinch Salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp Maca powder
  • 1/3 cup blueberries
  • 1/3 cup blackberries
  • 1/2 thumb ginger

Instructions

  • Take your soaked pepitas and sunflower seeds - drain them, rinse them, dry them well
  • In a large skillet on medium flame, dry toast your sunflower seeds and pepitas
  • You don’t need to add oil, simply move them around on the pan until they begin to toast and turn a golden caramel color (about 3-5 minutes), careful not to burn them
  • Once they are toasted, add them to a food processor and pulse until they become fine - nearly a powder
  • Then add dates, hemp seeds, goji berries, salt and coconut flakes - pulse consistently until it turns into a crumbly doughy consistency
  • Take the crumble and shape it into a ball
  • Flatten the ball evenly on a tray (that can fit into the fridge)
  • You want the thickness to be about ½ inch - or a tad thicker - feel free to use a rolling pin if that makes it easier for you
  • I usually do the crust shaping all by hand, have fun!
  • Begin to lift the edges to form the elevated border/crust - about an inch tall, or in that range
  • Puree all filling ingredients in a blender/food processor
  • Pour the mixture to the center of the tart crust and spread evenly
  • Make sure your borders are reinforced and thick, to hold the inner filling
  • Set the tart, on a pan, in the fridge anywhere from 8 hours to overnight to harden
  • Top with frozen berries, edible flowers and fresh basil to serve
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Soaking your seeds overnight is a must!
To do this:
Pour your seeds into separate bowls and pour enough water over them to cover by 1 inch
Let them soak overnight
Then; drain, rinse and pat them dry
They’re now ready to be toasted
Make sure you remove the pits from your dates
Goji berries and hemps seeds add extra goodness here, but are not necessary. If i had to pick one; i’d day hemp seeds!
I molded this tart with my hands and love the imperfect look of it. I encourage you too, as well! It’s so stimulating
Since dates are sticky; make sure you start molding your tart crust on a small tray or small piece of parchment paper, to keep it from adhering to your counter/cutting board
