Coconut Cranberry Tart
Description
Adorable little cranberry coconut tartlets by Lisa Pitman sweetened only with fruit juices and dates. The crust is a delectable and simple combination of pecans, medjool dates, and shredded coconut and the filling is a creamy and sweet fusion of tart cranberries, coconut milk, orange juice and cinnamon. Make sure you find cranberries that are dried without added oils and sugar, and soften them by soaking in freshly squeezed organic OJ. Rich in healthy fats, vitamin c and phytonutrients, this tart is full of nutrition, flavor, and pizazz!
