Vanilla & Cashew Tart

Simple. Easy. Minimal ingredients. No oil. Yum.

Yep, that pretty much sums it up! The creaminess of cashews in this dessert really complement the vanilla and I love that the main ingredients are nuts.

Fun Fact - Cashews contain plant based (non-heme) iron and like all nuts, are low GI. Unlike many raw treats, there’s also no added oil. This means they need to be stored in the freezer but I promise it doesn’t compromise on the taste.

Enjoy them frozen or slightly defrosted - the choice is yours.
