I remember sitting at my favorite coffee shop in Houston when I read a sign with the quote “Spring is just nature having its coffee.” That literally made my day! If you are a coffee lover like me, treat yourself to these little tarts:a delicate combination of coffee and cacao enhancedby the exotic flavor of macadamia nuts.
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE BASE (3 tarts of 4" each)
-
1 cup raw macadamia nuts
-
1/2 cup shredded coconut
-
1 Tbsp maple syrup
-
1/2 tsp coconut sugar

2 tsp raw cashew butter
-
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
-
1/2 tsp virgin coconut oil, melted
-
1/4 tsp pink Himalayan salt
FOR THE FILLING
-
1 cup cashews, soaked for 6h
-
2 Tbsp espresso (around 2 shots)
-
1/2 cup macadamia mylk, homemade
-
1/2 cup raw cacao powder
-
1/4 cup dates, chopped
-
1 vanilla bean, seeded

1-2 Tbsp raw coconut sugar (depending on how strong you like coffee)
