Directions
1. Make the Base – Preheat oven to 170C degrees. In a food processor, add pecans, oats, Suncore Foods® Snow Quinoa Flakes, cacao powder and salt and blend until finely ground. Add the dates and melted coconut oil and blend until the mixture resembles wet sand. With the help of a spoon, press the mixture firmly into a lightly greased tart pan with removable bottom. Poke some holes into the bottom of the crust with a fork. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes. Immediately after taking it out of the oven, smooth the surface with a spoon to get a nice and even surface. Cool down completely and place in the freezer while making the filing.
2. Make the Cherry Layer – Drain and rinse the cashews. Place them in a food processor together with the rest of the ingredients. Blend until completely smooth. Pour over the tart based. Place in the freezer to set about 30 minutes.
3. Make the White Chocolate Layer – Drain and rinse the cashews. Place them in a food processor together with the rest of the ingredients and blend until completely smooth. Pour over the cherry layer. Place in the freezer to set for at least 2 hours. Remove from freezer a 30 minutes to an hour before eating. Garnish with fresh cherries, Suncore Foods® Rose Petals, white chocolate chunks, and toasted coconut chips. You can keep the tart in a closed container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
