Marvelous In My Monday #2

Thanks to Katie...

I have a MARVELOUS recipe to share with you!

Vanilla Nectarine Cream Tart with Raw Crumble Topping 
adapted from Sweetly Raw's Easy Raw Peach Crumble.
 

Serve this marvelous dessert when you want to be fancy and impress.

Makes 12-15 small tarts or 1 pie

MARVELOUS CRUST

1 cup Macadamia Nuts

1 cup unsweetened, dried, fine shredded Coconut

1/3-1/2 cup Cocoa Powder

3/4 cup Agave Nectar (or 100% Pure Maple Syrup)

3 TBSP Lemon Zest

1/8 tsp Sea Salt

Line your tart shells with plastic wrap or parchment paper.
Process all ingredients until finely ground. The mixture should form into a ball when pressed. 
Press 2 TBSP crust mixture into each tart shell, then remove the tart from the shell and chill.

OR Use 1 pie plate instead (like I did). 

MARVELOUS VANILLA NECTARINE CREAM

1 cup Cashews (soaked 4 or more hours)

*3 medium Nectarines, diced

2/3 cup Nectarines, diced

1/4 cup Agave Nectar (or Maple Syrup)

3 TBSP Coconut Butter

1/2 cup freshly squeezed Orange Juice

1 whole Vanilla Bean, seeds scraped

2 TBSP Lemon Zest (or 1 TBSP lemon zest + 1 TBSP lime zest)

sprinkle of cinnamon

Process all ingredients (*except the 3 diced Nectarines).

Transfer to a bowl and fold in the 3 diced Nectarines. 
Chill until ready to serve, at least 1 hour.

MARVELOUS CRUMBLE TOPPING

1 cup Walnuts

1/2 cup Dates, pitted + packed

1/2 cup shredded Coconut

1/3 cup Oats

1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract

pinch of salt

Process all ingredients until crumbly, yet moist. 

If you'd like it to press together more, add 1-2 tsp water. 

MARVELOUS To Serve:

Set the tartlet/pie shell in the center of a plate and top with vanilla nectarine cream. Evenly spread the raw crumble topping over the filling for a nice, fancy treat. Heavenly!
