My granddaughter loves to make these tarts using a playset kitchen!
Oh my ... these might serve 2 in your house Lisa but I could definitely polish off both of these with a nice big cup of tea :-) Yum!
ReplyDeleteOmg! I love chocolate & cashews together! Your photos are gorgeous <3
ReplyDeleteThese look just unbelievably yummy!
ReplyDeleteThey look great but I think you need to change the title or the method as there are no cashews in your recipe.
ReplyDeleteChocolate AND cashews. Can it get any better? Yum!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I'm so in! I love, love, love raw vegan desserts that aren't reliant on coconut oil :)
ReplyDeleteAbout how many muffin tin sized tarts would this make? Trying to gage if I'd need to double the recipe before I start making it. :)
ReplyDelete(Maharishi- there are cashews in the filling AND optionally in the crust...)
You had me at Cashew.....anything with cashew cream looks good to me, yummy!!
ReplyDeleteJessica, with the recipe above I made the two tarts in cupcake tins. They're big tarts (as you can see by the nutritional info!), and I filled them pretty full. If you were to double the recipe, you would probably be able to get 5-6 cupcake tin sized tarts from it, depending on how full you made them. Let me know how they turn out!
ReplyDeleteYUM!! Easy, peasy too! Aren't raw desserts just the best?!
ReplyDeleteChocolate + Cashews = Bliss. Can't wait to try this recipe!
ReplyDeleteamazing result with so few ingredients!! the filling looks like something I could eat alone...with a spoon :DD great blog!
ReplyDeleteMalin ... I've personally confirmed that the filling can, indeed, be eaten with a spoon :)
ReplyDeleteI have to make these now.
