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
- 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.
- Line the tart pans with plastic wrap and sprinkle a few pinches of the walnut mixture over each bottom.
- 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
- Soak the raw cashews in water for at least 2-3 hours.
- 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.
- Pour the matcha mixture into each of the tart pans. Freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Coconut Whipped Cream
- After chilling the can, open it and scoop the solid white coconut cream into the bowl. Discard the coconut water.
- 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
- Slice strawberries one at a time. Keep each respective bunch so that when you garnish each tart, there's one whole strawberry.
- 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.
