Versiunea in limba romana: Tarta cu smochine, crema de portocale si blat de ciocolata Happy vegan friday! I played a little with almonds, cashews, oranges, vanilla, cocoa, vanilla honey (Kzarinne) and fresh figs and the result was delicious. What a beautiful tart! My kids loved it! I like raw desserts, as they are really easy to prepare, just a bit of waiting time, but it does not bother me. This raw tart is healthy, easy to make and quite filling, a little piece is all I could handle at a time. I can hardly imagine anyone fighting with an entire tart. Little healthy portions, perfect for satisfying sweet tooth cravings. A delicious tart with fresh figs, orange cream and chocolate crust. Simple, healthy, fast! Happy Vegan Friday! P.S. Status: 26 weeks, another 98 days to go, quite a round belly, resting a lot (forced relaxation, but doctors order, it's true). No extra weight except baby, so far. Have a great day! xoxo
Crust
325 g raw almonds
30 g cocoa raw
3 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 tsp salt
Cream
280 g raw cashews, kept in cold water for 2 hours
3 tsp vanilla honey
finely grated zest and juice of one orange
1 tsp lecithin granules
fresh figs
maple syrup
Blitz almonds in a blender, untill you obtain a course almond flour. Mix it with cocoa, maple syrup, coconut oil (very slightly warmed), vanilla and salt. It should look like fine crumbs. Put this crumbs in the tart tray, press it tightly and refrigerate for a while.
To prepare the cream: drain cashews, then blitz it in the blender together with the orange juice and zest, vanilla honey and lecithin. Put the cream over the crust and refrigerate for a couple of hours. Just before serving, cut the figs in thin slices.
Arrange it nicely over the tart and brush it with maple syrup. I chose maple syrup as it is easier to brush, but we can use also honey or agave nectar.
I prepared 3 tarts, using 12 cm diameter tart trays.
Enjoy!
