Ingredients
Crust
- 250 g gluten free rolled oats
- 50 g buckwheat groats
- 50 g cashews (or any other nuts of choice)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 14 medium pitted dates
Filling
- 3 large ripe peaches
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 400 ml full fat coconut milk
- 75 ml maple syrup
- 1 tbsp arrowroot powder or cornstarch
- 2 tsp agar agar powder
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Grease a 23 cm loose-bottom tart tin with coconut oil and set aside. Place rolled oats, buckwheat groats, and cashews in a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground. Add maple syrup and coconut oil, then add pitted dates and process all together until the mixture resembles a wet sand texture.
- Form the crust: Firmly press the crust mixture into the bottom and sides of the prepared tart tin to create an even base. Place the crust in the fridge to chill while preparing the filling.
- Make the peach puree: Peel the peaches and cut them into smaller pieces. In a food processor, combine the peaches with lemon juice and blitz until smooth.
- Cook the filling: Pour the coconut milk into a medium saucepan, then add the peach puree and maple syrup. Stir to combine. Add arrowroot powder and agar agar powder and keep stirring until fully dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for approximately 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
- Strain and assemble: Pour the filling mixture through a metal sieve into a small bowl to remove any lumps. Transfer the smooth filling onto the chilled tart crust, smoothing the top evenly.
- Chill to set: Place the assembled tart in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the filling to set properly.
- Decorate and serve: Before serving, decorate the tart with fresh peach slices, raspberries, and strawberries for a colorful, fresh presentation. Enjoy your Summer Peach Tart!
