Raw Little Lemon Tart with Lemon Almond Poppy Seed Ice Cream
Makes 2
2 4 inch removable bottom tart pans
crusts:
2/3 cup finely shredded dried coconut
1/3 cup sprouted, dehydrated buckwheat (or additional coconut)
1 cup almond meal or pulp (dehydrated)
6-8 medjool dates, pitted
1/4 tsp sea salt
lemon curd:
1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp very hot filtered water
1 Tbsp flaked agar agar
1/2 cup lemon juice
zest of one organic lemon
2 Tbsp raw coconut nectar or maple syrup
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
3 Tbsp raw coconut butter
1 Tbsp raw coconut oil
lemon slices
Raw Lemon Almond Poppyseed Ice Cream (recipe follows)
To make the crust, combine all the ingredients in a food processor and process until finely chopped and starting to hold together. Press the mixture into 2 4 inch removanle bottom tart pans sprayed with non-stick spray. Place in the freezer while you prepare the curd.
For the curd, place the agar in the hot water in a bowl, and stir to dissolve. Once dissolved, let cool to room temperature and add other ingredients. Pour into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into the prepared crusts and place in the fridge for about 4-6 hours or until set and chilled. Once chilled, garnish with a lemon slice, and serve with raw lemon almond poppyseed ice cream.
Raw Lemon Almond Poppyseed Ice Cream
Makes about 4 cups
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup almond milk
2 Tbsp organic lemon zest
2 cups raw cashews, soaked overnight and drained
2 cups young coconut meat, chopped
1/2 cup raw coconut nectar or maple syrup
seeds of one vanilla bean
1 tsp pure almond extract
a pinch of sea salt
1/2 cup coconut oil, warmed to liquid
2 Tbsp black poppyseeds
Add lemon juice and almond milk to a food processor, along with zest, cashews, coconut meat, coconut nectar, vanilla, almond extract, and sea salt. Process until smooth, then with the processor running, add the coconut oil slowly and process until well incorporated, about a minute. Pour the mixture through a fine meshed strainer and press through until you have removed any coconut bits (you can skip this step, but it makes for a smoother ice cream). Stir in poppy seeds, and pour the strained mixture into an ice cream maker and process according to directions. Remove from ice cream maker, and pour into a freezer safe container. Let chill in the freezer for a few hours until a little more firm before scooping.

Hi Amy:<br /><br />I just finished this one and it looks amazing! I have some issues with the "blending all the elements at the same time" (Probably a poor blender) so I blended element by element and the crust, I ended up working it as a dough with my hands. (really easy to do)<br /><br />I hav ea question: What is the reason for the coconut oil in the filling? Does it add flavor or texture?
Very excited about trying these!
I do hope you try them :)!
made today...so good. But oh the calories!
Happy you made them :)! I don't count calories, just enjoy things in moderation ;)!
Is that buckwheat flour.?
All ingredients are listed in the recipe. It is not buckwheat flour in the crust, but there is sprouted dehydrated buckwheat groats.
