Video Blog: Raw Lemon Tart

Hey Guys, Claire from Raw Blend here! Today I am going to keep things short and sweet and I’m going to create a Raw Lemon Tart for you all. So without further ado …

Equipment

• Vitamix 2L wet container
• Dehydrator
• 21cm round cake tin with removable bottom

Ingredients – Crust

• 1 cup shredded coconut
• 1 cup almond meal
• 6-8 medjool dates (pitted)
• 1/2 tsp organic vanilla paste
• 1/4 tsp sea salt

Ingredients – Lemon Filling

• 1/4 cup very hot filtered water
• 1 Tbsp flaked agar agar
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• zest of 1 organic lemon
• 2 Tbsp raw coconut nectar
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 3 Tbsp raw coconut butter
• 1 Tbsp raw coconut oil

Method – Crust

1. Put all the crust ingredients into the Vitamix 2L container in the order listed and secure the lid.
2. Select Variable 1. Turn the machine on and quickly increase the speed to 10, then override to High.
3. Use tamper really well to press the ingredients into the blades.
4. Blend for 45-60 seconds or until the ingredients are starting to hold together, forming a rough dough.
5. Stop the machine and press the mixture into a lined cake tin (Make sure to mould up the sides about 2cm so you can fill it with the Lemon mixture).
6. Place your crust into a food dehydrator and dehydrate for about 6 hours at 43 degrees Celsius. If you don’t have a dehydrator you can set the base in a freezer for about 1 hour.
