Ingredients

For the filling:

  • 1 cup raw cashews , soaked for 6 hours (or overnight), rinsed and drained
  • ½ cup unsweetened plain or vanilla almond milk
  • ¼ cup coconut oil , melted
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons light agave nectar
  • 20-40 drops plain or vanilla liquid stevia , or to taste
  • Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Pinch of fine sea salt

For the crust:

  • cups raw pecan halves or pieces
  • 2/3 cup raw natural almonds (with skin)
  • 2/3 cup dried unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon whole chia seeds , ground to a fine powder in a coffee grinder
  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons yacon syrup
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
  • 50-70 drops plain or vanilla pure liquid stevia
  • Up to 2 tablespoons plain or vanilla unsweetened almond milk , as needed

For the apricot swirl:

  • 3-4 small fresh apricots , pitted and cut into quarters
  • 2 teaspoons chia seeds , ground to a fine powder in a coffee grinder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 10-20 drops plain or vanilla pure liquid stevia

Instructions

Make the filling:

  • Place all ingredients for the filling into a high-powered blender (such as a Vita Mix) and blend until silky smooth.
  • This may take a while and you may need to push down the mixture with the tamper, scraping the sides several times.
  • Transfer to a bowl and allow to sit while you prepare the crust.

Make the crust:

  • Place the pecans, almonds, coconut, cinnamon, chia meal, and salt in the bowl of a food processor.
  • Process until it resembles a fine meal.
  • Add the yacon syrup, grated ginger, and stevia.
  • Process just until it comes together into dough. Do NOT add the almond milk unless absolutely necessary.
  • Try pinching the crumbled dough between your fingers. If it sticks together, it’s fine, even if it appears a bit dry.

Make the apricot swirl:

  • Place all of the swirl ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
  • The mixture will be semi-liquid but should firm up as the chia absorbs the moisture.

Assemble the tarts:

  • Divide the crust dough among 4-6 tart tins (4-6 inches each), pressing into the bottom and up the sides.
  • Fill with the cheesecake filling, dividing it evenly among the pans.
  • Using a ½ teaspoon measuring spoon, dollop the apricot spread haphazardly over the top of the cheesecake filling, leaving some white spaces.
  • Using the tip of a sharp knife, pull it through the apricot mixture in different directions to create a marbled effect.
  • Place the tarts in the refrigerator and chill for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the cheesecake filling to firm up. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

If you have any leftover apricot spread, save it in a covered container in the refrigerator to use as fresh jam on toast, pancakes, or crackers (it will keep up to 4 days in the refrigerator).
