• 1 cup raw soaked cashews

‍

1. Start by adding your pitted dates, walnuts, almond flour, cinnamon and pinch of salt to a food processor or high speed blender. Blend until broken down and dough like consistency is formed. Make sure to press the mixture between your fingers to check that it sticks together. If the dough doesn’t stick, add 1-2 more dates and blend again.
2. Once dough is formed, add a scoop to all 6 tart shells until dough runs out. Then press dough down into tart shells with your fingers evenly to form the crust. Place tart shells in the freezer to set while you prepare the filling.
3. To the same high speed blender or food process add your raw cashews, coconut cream, non-dairy yogurt, orange juice, orange zest, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more maple syrup if you want it sweeter and more orange if you want it more tart.
4. Remove tart shells from the freezer and fill with your orange cream filling. Place back in the freezer to set.
5. While your tarts are firming up, prepare your figs, slicing into quarters and set aside. Once your tarts have set for about 40-60 minutes, remove from the freezer and top with figs. When you are ready to eat, drizzle with agave nectar and serve! If you are preparing this ahead of time, leave in the freezer and remove about 30 minutes before serving to let thaw.
