Sugar-Free Cherry & Almond Tart

Vegan, Raw, Dairy-Free

This festive tart has been inspired by Christmas. Sweet gooey base made from almonds, roasted hazelnuts and delicious ‘caramel like’ Medjool dates. Layered with homemade marzipan and sweet, juicy cherry mousse. All topped with crunchy almond flakes and 100% cacao sugar-free dark chocolate. Making tart like that is super easy as it is raw, so no baking required. Cherry mousse can be either cooked as per recipe or made by blending raw cherries with the rest of the ingredients. You may need less or nearly none water to keep the mousse thick.

To make this tart, you need only some basic ingredients, easily accessible from the supermarket like dates, nuts, coconut oil, cherries, maple syrup. To lower the amount of sugar I have used erythritol – 0 calories sweetener. If you do not have it at hand do not worry, just use another natural sweetener like stevia, maple syrup or use local honey. There is no nastiness in this tart. No flour, just nuts so everyone on a gluten-free diet can happily indulge into this guilt-free pleasure. Instead of palm oil and sugar, I have used organic raw coconut oil, pure maple syrup and erythritol. If you are dairy intolerant – some good news for you! You can sink your teeth into this tart with no regrets as it contains no dairy, only pure coconut milk.

If you love Christmas like me, and every flavour that reminds this beautiful time of family gathering, sharing presents and happiness, then you will fall in love with this tart. What is even better if you want to send your taste buds to the Disneyworld then use sour cherries or raspberries and dry roast almond flakes before sprinkling on the top.

One piece of tart has got around 214 calories and over 4 grams of fibre, that will fully satisfy your sweet tooth without making you feel guilty. It will also nourish your body by providing a lot of potassium, calcium, iron, manganese, selenium and vitamin E. Sweet, raw, sugar-free and dairy-free raw cake you can enjoy with a huge smile on your face! How to make it? Recipe below. Enjoy!
