Servings 12 slices

Ingredients
 

  • 6-8 fresh figs chopped

Base

  • 1 cup raw pistachios
  • 8 dates
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • Himalayan pink salt a pinch of

Custard

  • 2¼ cups raw cashews soaked overnight and rinsed
  • 1½ tsp orange blossom water
  • ½ cup liquid sweetener of choice I used coconut nectar
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • zest and juice of 1 medium orange
  • ¼– ½ cup water
  • 3 tablespoons soy lecithin** granules, optional-read note

Instructions
 

Base

  • Place all ingredients in the food processor and process until it resembles fine crumbs and mixture can hold together & you can form a ball.

Custard

  • Place all the ingredients in a high speed blender, except the water and lecithin. Process until super smooth.
  • If mixture is having trouble blending, add the water, starting with 1/4 cup first. This may be all you need. You want it to be a thick custard like consistency.
  • Once it’s super smooth, and you are happy with the consistency, add the lecithin and blend again.
  • Taste it and adjust the flavours if needed (more orange water if you want it a bit stronger, more sweetener if not sweet enough, e.t.c)
  • Pour the custard into the prepared tin and place in the freezer for a couple of hours.
  • When you are half an hour away from serving, take it out of the freezer and arrange the fresh figs on top.

Notes

**soy lecithin is used to thicken things up, so make sure you add it right at the end and that it’s in powder form if using. I just whizzed mine in the blender. You can also buy liquid lecithin but I’m yet to find some, besides, I rarely use it, however, I wanted the tart to hold it’s shape even if it was left out of the fridge (for presentation), which is why I added the lecithin. Like with all soy products, you should make sure they are organic and GMO free.
