Ingredients
- • almonds: 1 cup, finely ground
- • unsweetened shredded coconut: 1/2 cup
- • coconut oil: 2 tablespoons, melted
- • date syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • canned chickpeas: 1 cup, drained and rinsed
- • ripe mango: 1 large, peeled and diced
- • maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • ground ginger: 1 teaspoon
- • ground cardamom: 1/2 teaspoon
- • fresh lime juice: 1 tablespoon
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • sea salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- • chia seeds: 1 tablespoon, soaked in 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 2 In a mixing bowl, combine the ground almonds, shredded coconut, melted coconut oil, and date syrup. Mix until the ingredients form a crumbly dough.
- 3 Press the dough evenly into the bottom of a tart pan with a removable base, ensuring it is packed tightly. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
- 4 In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, diced mango, maple syrup, ground ginger, cardamom, lime juice, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- 5 Stir the soaked chia seeds into the mango and chickpea mixture until well incorporated.
- 6 Pour the filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Bake for another 15 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly firm to the touch.
- 7 Allow the tart to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • For an added touch of freshness, serve each slice of the tart with a dollop of coconut yogurt or a sprinkle of fresh mint leaves. Accompany this vibrant dessert with a chilled glass of herbal tea or a refreshing coconut water to complement the tropical flavors. If you're serving this tart at a gathering, consider garnishing it with thinly sliced mango or a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes for an elegant presentation.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze individual slices, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and placed in a freezer-safe bag, for up to 1 month. To enjoy, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and serve chilled.
