Berry Tart
Prep and time around 30 minutes, chilling time: 3hours
Crust
2 ½ cups walnuts
1 ½ cups pitted dates
Filling
5 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
3-4 tablespoons honey
1 ½ tablespoons arrowroot powder or cornstarch
2 tablespoons water, or juice from frozen berries
Combine walnuts and dates in food processor. Process until well mixed and ground, but not smooth. Press into a 9 inch tart pan or individual tart cups. Set in refrigerator while making the filling.
If you are using frozen blackberries make sure they are completely thawed. Place 2 cups of the berries, thickener, water or juice in bender. Blend into a puree. Place in a small saucepan along with honey and cook puree over medium heat stirring constantly for about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix with rest of the blackberries and fill tart shell. Refrigerate covered for at least 3 hours.
I wonder if this would turn out well without sugar?! Dying for a legal dessert. If I blend the blackberries with a few soaked dates, then cook over medium heat – add more blackberries. Normally I’d use some local raw honey, but our group is doing the Whole30 so no sugar. Thank you, looks yummy.
Hi Suzanne,I would love to hear how this turned out using the dates.
