I’m excited to share that my awesome husband bought me a new kitchen tool! If you know me, kitchen tools are my favorite, as long as they are truly practical in the kitchen. Can you guess what it is…?Â
Raw Vegan Yogurt Fruit Tarts
Yes, that’s right, mini pie pans! I finally get to try them out and this is the recipe to do it with. If you follow this blog then you saw that last month I announced that I made my own probiotic-rich coconut yogurt. After buying the So Delicious brand for so long, I decided making it homemade shouldn’t be too hard for me. I found that it was pretty easy since we have coconut meat regularly in the fridge and the homemade version is far more flavorful.
I’ve been on this coconut yogurt obsession and decided to make something a little different besides the normal yogurt parfait recipe. Like always, it was a hit!
This easy raw vegan fruit tart recipe is simple, creamy, and naturally sweet. I know you guys are going to LOVE these fruit tarts! Now I prefer these as mini tarts since it makes it simpler when serving but you could also use this recipe to make one BIG one if you like.
The crust has a combo of walnuts, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, dates, cinnamon, and vanilla. The filling is just the plain raw vegan coconut yogurt recipe that was previously posted and the toppings are completely custom to your liking. I just used whatever fruit I had at the time, luckily we always keep a good variety in the house. But if you’re not a fan of kiwi or pineapple, substitute it with whatever fruit you are craving these days.
Why are Dates so GOOD for you?
Dates are rich in several vitamins, minerals, and fiber. These delicious fruits are a good source of calcium, sulfur, iron, potassium, phosphorous, manganese, copper, and magnesium which are all beneficial for health. The significant amounts of minerals found in dates make them a superfood for strengthening bones and fighting off painful and debilitating diseases like osteoporosis. They are high in soluble fiber, which is often categorized as a laxative food. Dates have a high mineral content, which is beneficial for many different health conditions, but their impressive levels of iron make them a perfect dietary supplement for people suffering from anemia. Dates are also high in natural sugars, therefore, they are the perfect snack for an immediate burst of energy.
