- coconut milk - 80g
- maple syrup - 120g

- vanilla - 1 tsp, essence
- salt - pinch

Method
Pastry:
- Add the coconut palm sugar (50g) to the bowl. Blitz Speed 9 / 10 seconds.
- If you need to make your own almond meal, add almonds (150g) to the bowl and grind Speed 8 / 10 seconds.
- To the coconut palm sugar (50g) and almond meal (150g), add the coconut flour (50g), arrowroot (30g), butter (100g) and lemon zest (from 1/2 lemon) to the bowl. Blend Speed 6 / 10 seconds.
- Add the beaten egg (1) to the bowl. Program Closed Lid / Kneading Function / 15 seconds.
- Wrap in clingfilm, flatten, and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill.
- Preheat the oven to 160C.
- Once the dough is chilled, roll out to 2-3mm thickness between two sheets of baking paper.
- Peel off the top sheet of baking paper and, using an 8cm round pastry cutter, cut 18 circles from the pastry. You may need to re-roll the dough to get all 18 circles.
- Place the cut circles back into the fridge for 5 minutes to firm up slightly, then press them into 7cm fluted tart shells or the holes of a muffin tin.
- Neatly trim the tops of the dough circles. If there are any tears, just use a little of the excess dough to carefully patch them, being careful to maintain an even thickness.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let sit in the moulds for 5-10 minutes before removing to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. They will feel very soft as soon as you take them out of the oven, but as they cool, the base will harden.
- If the underside of the base still feels a little damp once cool, you can turn them upside down and return them to the oven for 5 or so minutes to dry out a little further.
Filling:
- If you need to roast the hazelnuts (60g), place onto a baking tray and roast for 10-15 minutes on 180C. Let them cool, then use your hands to rub the nuts together to get rid of the skins.
- Place the roasted hazelnuts (60g) into the bowl. Mill Speed 9 / 10 seconds.
- Add the coconut oil (80g), coconut milk (80g), maple syrup (120g), cacao powder (50g), vanilla essence (1 tsp), salt (pinch) and fresh raspberries (250g) to the bowl. Program 2 minutes / 50C / Speed 3.
- Pour the filling into the cooled tart shells and set in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Top each tart with 3 raspberries and return to the fridge to set completely.
- Enjoy!
