There's layer upon layer or deliciousness in these gooey and delectable Chocolate Acai Berry Tarts. With a base of crunchy almonds, cacao nibs and cacao butter, a creamy banana honeycomb centre and a luscious layer of cherries, Acai and Cacao Crunch on the top.
Ingredients
Base
- 1 cup pitted dates
- 1/2 cup salted and roasted almonds
- 1/2 cup almond meal
- 1 Tbs raw Cacao Nibs
- 1 Tbs raw Cacao Butter
- 1 squirt caramel liquid stevia
Filling
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1 cup pitted dates
- 3/4 cup water
Honeycomb
- 1 banana (1/2 whole, 1/2 peeled)
- 2 squirt vanilla stevia or 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 heaped tbs honeycomb or vanilla pea protein powder
- 2 tbs shaved raw cacao butter
Cherry Acai Layer
- 2 heaped Tbs Acai Berry Powder
- 2 tbs rice syrup or maple syrup
- 2 tbs honeycomb or vanilla pea protein powder
- 12 large frozen cherries
- 2-3 tbs Cacao Crunch for decoration
Directions
- Place all ingredients into a blender or food processor and gently process until the mixture gets sticky but still has structure.
- Press 2 tbs each into a 6 muffin pan or press the lot into a medium sized removable bottomed tart pan.
- Place into the freezer or fridge to firm up
Filling
- Soak dates and cashews in the water for 2-3 hours or overnight.
Honeycomb Layer
- Place all of the ingredients except the protein powder into a high speed blender and blend until super smooth and creamy. This can take a while and you will need the tamper to help move the mix through the blades so as not to overheat the motor.
- Once you have the mixture super smooth add the protein powder and blend through for about a minute or two on high speed.
- Spoon 1 1/2 to 2 tbs onto each of the bases or place a 1 1/2 cm layer onto the medium round base, you should have about 1/3 - 1/2 of the mix left over for the next layer.
Cherry Acai Layer
- Add all of the ingredients for the cherry Acai layer to the left overs from the honeycomb layer and blend until smooth
- Pace the mixture into a piping bag and allow to cool before piping onto the tarts.
Alternatively you can spoon the mixture onto the honeycomb mixture and gently smooth out the top. - Decorate with Power Super Foods Cacao Crunch and sprinkles of desiccated coconut.
