This recipe is one that I created in an attempt to make a tart that was gluten – free, dairy – free, egg – free, and ultimately free of sugar (I did add some natural sugars though). These tarts are a nice little treat for you sweet-tooths out there who might need a sweet fix during an elimination diet or restricted diet.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of berries (ideally blueberries, raspberries, and/or blackberries)
- 3 tablespoons of honey (may need to add more if the mixture is too “tart”)
- 1 cup of brown rice flour
- 1 cup of water
- 2 cups of pitted dates
- 1 cup of brazil nuts
- 1 cup of walnuts
Directions:
Filling
- Combine 2 cups of berries and 3 tablespoons of honey in a non-stick frying pan and heat until well combined.
- Add in flour, followed by slowly adding in the water.
- Heat until thick consistency is reached.
Tart Base
- Combine dates, brazil nuts, and walnuts in a food processor and mix until thoroughly combined.
- Shape the mixture into tart shapes, making sure to leave the center indented for the filling.
- Place the filling in the center of the tart base.
- Place the tarts in the freezer until approximately 30-60 minutes prior to serving.
