  • Total Time: 4 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

– 1 1/2 cups raw cashews (soaked)

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

– Juice of 1 medium lemon

– 1/4 cup canned light coconut milk

– 1/4 cup coconut oil

– 1/2 cup maple syrup

– 1/4 cup coconut yogurt

– 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

– 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons matcha powder

– 1 cup packed Medjool dates (pitted)

– 1 1/2 cups raw walnuts

– 1 pinch sea salt

Instructions

1-Step 1: Soak and Prepare First, soak the cashews in hot water for 1 hour or in cool water overnight, then drain them thoroughly. This step is crucial as it improves the creaminess, making your filling blend up perfectly. Once done, you’re ready to move on to the crust.

2-Step 2: Make the Crust In a food processor, blend the dates until they form a sticky ball and set them aside. Next, process the walnuts and sea salt into a fine meal, then add the dates back in and blend until a dough forms. Press this mixture into a lined pan and pop it in the freezer to set while you handle the filling.

3-Step 3: Blend the Filling Blend all the filling ingredients except the matcha powder until smooth and creamy. Once that’s ready, pour two-thirds of it into the frozen crust. For the swirl effect, add the matcha powder to the remaining filling, blend it up, and gently swirl it into the crust.

4-Step 4: Freeze and Serve Freeze the tart for 3 to 4 hours until it’s firm, then thaw for 15 to 20 minutes before serving. This no-bake method keeps things easy, especially on hot days when you don’t want to turn on the oven. For dietary tweaks, try substituting walnuts in the crust with almonds if you have them on hand.
