  • 1 tbsp Beetroot Juice (made from ¼ Beetroot & ¼ Orange to give bright pink colour and act as natural preservative)
  • 2 tbsp Chia Seeds
Mini Pie Base
Topping
Instructions
  1. Cream Tartlet Layer: Blend/grind Cashew Nuts into flour-like consistency.
  2. Cream Tartlet Layer: Add the rest of the ingredients, except the Cacao Butter, and blend until smooth.
  3. Cream Tartlet Layer: Gently *warm the Cacao Butter until melted, add to mixture and blend again (see recipe notes below for instructions on how to warm Cacao Butter).
  4. Strawberry Layer: Blend the Dates and Water into a paste.
  5. Strawberry Layer: Add the Rice Malt Syrup (or other natural sweetener) and half the roughly chopped Strawberries. Plus until just mixed together.
  6. Strawberry Layer: Add the rest of the roughly chopped Strawberries - optional: pulse again if you want less chunky.
  7. Strawberry Layer: Stir in the Chia Seeds and Beetroot Juice using a fork until mixed together well. Set aside.
  8. Mini Pie Base: Blend ingredients and then press a base layer into the silicon paper cupcake moulds or you can use other small glass/ceramic containers.
  9. Using a spoon, add a the Strawberry Layer and smooth over the surface using the back of the spoon. Followed by a Cream Layer. Again use a spoon to smooth over the surface.
  10. Optional Topping: Add a sliced Strawberry to the top.
Recipe Notes

* To melt Cacao Butter - I heat some water in a pot, then place a stainless steel bowl in the pot, add a little heated water to the bowl, and then add a glass bowl in which the Cacao Butter can melt without it getting too hot/burning. We want the Cacao Butter to remain raw (healthy for us), so avoid heating it more than 40 °C / 104 °F.

*You can enjoy straight away or put in the fridge for 15-30 minutes to set for a more mousse-like consistency.

*Eat within 1-2 days.

*Choose the cleanest ingredients possible:

-Choose spray-free/organic fresh produce for fresh ingredients where possible, and if buying conventional, rinse in diluted white vinegar water to remove.

-Choose dry ingredients (i.e. nuts, seeds, dried fruits ) that are spray-fee/organic where possible, and which don’t have preservatives such as sulphur dioxide.

- Choose virgin, cold-pressed Coconut Oil in glass where possible. It should be pure white in colour. Do not choose cheaper, deodorised/neutral flavoured coconut oils that are off-white.

-Choose Coconut Cream and Coconut Milk that is clean/free from additives, preservatives and E numbers. Plain Coconut Cream/Milk is better than the ones with added guar gum as this changes the consistency of recipes. You can use Nut Milk as an alternative. 

-Choose to homemade Nut Milk instead of buying. Most store bought ones have additives and stabilisers. Quick Tip: It’s easy to make your own: just grind ¼ cup nuts, then blend with 1 cup water. 

-Choose whole fruits over optional sweeteners if you need to add more sweetness. My preferred choice is Date Paste (pre-soaked Dates). Quick Tip: Keep a jar filled with Dates covered with water, in the fridge ready to go and use as is (instead of actually blending to make Date Paste).

 Peppermint Caramel Mini Tarts
You will need: Blender. One which has grinder blades where at least 2 blades lie flat, to grind nuts and seeds. *A coffee grinder can also be used to grind nuts and seeds. Or food processor. *Due to thick consistency of the Caramel layer (almost turns ‘toffee-like’), be careful not to burn out the motor of smaller blenders. In this instance, add small amounts of Spring Water to slightly thin the sauce. Optional: silicon paper cupcake moulds.
