Mango Raspberry Tart
Description
An amazing Spring and Summer appropriate dessert from the Queen of raw desserts herself, Heather Pace! Look at the beautiful color combinations of bright berry red and creamy muted ocre. The crust of this tart is extremely simple, just nuts and dates. The filling is equally simple and combines a layer of mashed raspberries with a layer of sweet decadent mango cashew cream with added richness and texture from coconut oil, and cacao butter. This tart will slice well and plate up very nicely. Heather has really mastered the texture of her desserts! Sunshine has just been confined to a pie crust!
