These Orange Creamsicle Tarts have a delightfully smooth sweet orange flavor and a delicious chewy Macaroon Crust. They are so gorgeous to serve and taste even more divine!
Ingredients
Macaroon Crust:
- 1 1/2 c Dried Shaved Coconut
- 1/2 c Cashews, ground
- 3 tbls Agave
- 2 tbls Coconut Oil, melted
- Pinch Himalayan Salt
Orange Creamsicle Filling:
- 1 1/2 c Cashews, soaked for 2 hours
- 1 c fresh Orange Juice
- 1/4 c Agave Nectar
- 2 tbls Coconut Oil, melted
- 2 tbls Orange Zest
Instructions
Macaroon Crust:
1. Process the coconut and cashews in the food processor until a meal forms.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients and process until the dough becomes sticky.
3. Measure a heaping 1/2 c of dough into each tart tray. Press into place being sure to create a few mm crust around the sides. Let sit in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
Orange Creamsicle Filling:
1. Blend all the ingredients until completely smooth. Depending on how sweet or bitter the orange juice is, adjust to taste. The flavor should be one that is lightly sweet with a creamy taste. Either add more orange juice or agave to achieve your desired flavor.
2. Pour into the 4 prepared tart trays and let set in the fridge overnight as the orange zest flavors will give the cream a more intense flavor.
3. Sprinkle a few long zest strips over the top and serve.
