Zingy Lemon & Turmeric Tart

The perfect Easter dessert to balance out the taste buds after all of that chocolate! This is one of my oldest recipes- I used to sell it them at markets and even made one for a friends wedding! And now I’m sharing it with you.

Super Zesty, with a creamy cashew nut and coconut cream filling and a raw date and ground almond base, it’s super healthy but very indulgent nonetheless.

Ingredients for the Base

  • 200g Dates
  • 75g Desiccated Coconut
  • 160g Ground Almonds

Ingredients for the Filling

  • Juice of 3 Lemons and Zest of 2 Lemons
  • 120g Cashews
  • Cream from a tin of Coconut Milk (read the label as can be full of yuckies so try and get one with just coconut!)
  • 30g Coconut Oil
  • 50ml Maple Syrup
  • 1.5 tsp Turmeric
  • Blueberries, desiccated coconut or lemon slices to decorate

Method

  1. Soak cashews for an hour in boiling water
  2. Whiz up base ingredients in a food processor with 3 tbsp of water
  3. Juice 3 Lemons and zest 2 lemons
  4. Blend to a creamy consistency drained cashews, coconut cream, lemon juice & zest, turmeric, maple syrup
  5. Pour over base and arrange blueberries, desiccated coconut or lemon slices to decorate
  6. Set for a few hours in the fridge
