Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownie Shell

  • 1 1/2 cups walnuts and almond
  • 1/4 cup carob powder (or cocoa powder)
  • 1/4 cup organic maple syrup
  • pinch of salt

For the Matcha Cream Filling

  • 2/3 cup raw cashews (soaked)
  • 3/4 to 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 2 tsps organic maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp matcha powder
  • pinch of sea salt

For the Coconut Whipped Cream

  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk (chilled for 24 hours)
  • 1-2 tbsp sweetener of choice
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

For Garnish

  • Strawberries (small ones work best)

Instructions

Brownie Shell

  1. Place the nuts and carob powder into a food processor fitted with the chopping blade. Pulse until finely ground and mixture is just starting to clump.
  2. Line the tart pans with plastic wrap and sprinkle a few pinches of the walnut mixture over each bottom.
  3. Add the honey and sea salt to the nut mixture and pulse until mixture forms a dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a tsp of cocoa powder at a time. Pat the dough into the tart pans.

Matcha Cream Filling

  1. Soak the raw cashews in water for at least 2-3 hours.
  2. Add cashews and almond milk into a Vtiamix or high-powdered blender, and blend for about 3 minutes until a smooth consistency is reached. Add in the rest of the ingredients and continue to blend until combined.
  3. Pour the matcha mixture into each of the tart pans. Freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Coconut Whipped Cream

  1. After chilling the can, open it and scoop the solid white coconut cream into the bowl. Discard the coconut water.
  2. Using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the cream until fluffy and smooth. Add in sweetener and vanilla to taste.

Decorations

  1. Slice strawberries one at a time. Keep each respective bunch so that when you garnish each tart, there's one whole strawberry.
  2. Put coconut cream into a piping bag fitted with any icing tip. I first sifted some more matcha powder onto each tart, then placed the strawberry with the piped cream.

Notes

Before starting this recipe, I would first soak the raw cashews (2/3 cup) in water for at least 2-3 hours.
