Delicious, healthy, no-bake tart from Martha Stewart Living. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups whole pecans |
1 pinch coarse salt |
1 1/2 cups pitted dates |
2 teaspoons pure maple syrup |
1 cup raw cashews, soaked overnight and thoroughly drained |
1/2 cup water |
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, and more to taste |
2 teaspoons pure maple syrup, and more to taste |
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped |
3/4 cup desiccated coconut |
3 -4 bananas (ripe but firm) |
Directions:
1. Make tart shell: Coarsely chop pecans and salt in a food processor. Add dates; pulse until thoroughly combined, 15 to 20 seconds. Add syrup; pulse just until combined and mixture sticks together. Press nut mixture firmly and evenly into a 9-inch pie plate, wetting your fingers as needed. Set tart shell aside.
2. Make filling: Grind nuts to a coarse paste in a blender. Add water, syrup, and vanilla scrapings; blend until smooth, about 5 minutes, scraping sides as needed. Mixture should be the consistency of thick pancake batter. Set aside 2 tablespoons coconut; add remainder to blender, and process to combine. Pour into prepared shell, spreading evenly.
3. Thinly slice bananas on the bias; arrange in slightly overlapping rows, beginning at edge of tart. Sprinkle with reserved coconut; serve immediately.
