How to Make Almond & Medjool Date Tart
  1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour and maple syrup. Gradually add water until a dough forms, ensuring it’s pliable. Press the dough evenly into a greased tart pan.
  2. Pre-bake Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the tart crust in the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until it turns lightly golden and fragrant.
  3. Make the Filling: In a blender, combine Medjool dates, coconut milk, vanilla extract, sea salt, and cornstarch. Blend until the mixture is ultra-smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining.
  4. Assemble Tart: Pour the luscious filling over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly to cover the surface completely.
  5. Bake Tart: Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes. Look for the edges to be set and the top to take on a gentle golden hue.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the tart to cool completely at room temperature before slicing. For a firmer texture, you can chill it in the fridge for some time.
