In further celebration of my one year anniversary, I present to you my Raspberry Tart! This is a simple crust made from savory crispy pecans. Mixed with a little coconut flour and ghee, it makes for a solid, crunchy crust that is perfect for a tart. With a simple filling of sweet homemade raspberry jam and fresh raspberries it is a bright and satisfying experience!
A tart refers to a baked pastry crust with an open top filling. The filling can be sweet or savory. In modern times it is usually fruit, custard or both. The variations are endless.
Raspberry Tart
Ingredients for filling
- 1 cup Raspberry Jam (see my recipe for this here)
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Ingredients for crust
- 2 cups crispy pecans (how to soak and dehydrate nuts) (where to buy soaked and dehydrated nuts)
- 1/4 cup coconut flour (where to buy coconut flour)
- 2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup honey (where to buy raw honey)
- 1/2 cup ghee or butter (how to make ghee)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (where to buy sea salt and spices)
Equipment
- Le Cruset 91/2″ Tart Dish (where to buy)
Instructions for the crust
- In a food processor, process the pecans until they are tiny pieces — not a nut butter — just before
- Add in the honey, vanilla and salt and mix
- Add in the coconut flour in small increments as you may need less than 1/4 cup
- Add in small pieces of the butter or ghee while the processor is running to just mix with the batter
- Small pieces of the butter or ghee may still be seen and that is OK
- Oil the tart dish with coconut oil or ghee and place a circle of parchment paper at the bottom
- Take the dough and press into a 9 1/2″ tart pan or dish
- Press the dough into the sides and as evenly as you can on the bottom
- Bake in a 300 degrees F oven for 15 – 20 minutes or until browned
- Remove from the oven and let cool
Putting it all together
- When the crust is cool spread the jam around the bottom of the crust (you don’t have to go all the way to the sides)
- Place the fresh raspberries around the edges and in the middle, on top of the jam
- Slice and serve or refrigerate
