Summer Fruit Tart
RECIPE AND RECIPE IMAGE COURTESY OF JEANINE DONOFRIO (LOVEANDLEMONS.COM)
CRUST
- 9 graham cracker sheets (about 5 oz)
- 5 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1⁄2 tsp sea salt
FILLING
- 16 oz cream cheese
- 2⁄3 cup powdered sugar
- 1⁄4 cup unsalted and unroasted cashews
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ripe peaches or nectarines, pitted and sliced
- 1⁄3 cup raspberries or pitted and halved cherries
Line the bottom of a 9-inch nonstick tart pan with a circle of parchment paper. (A tart pan with a removable bottom is best.)
Prepare the crust: In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers, coconut oil, brown sugar and salt until crumbly. Press the mixture into the prepared tart pan, using the back of a measuring cup to press it firmly onto the bottom and completely up the sides. Freeze for 30 minutes.
Prepare the filling: In a high-speed blender, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, cashews, lemon juice, zest and vanilla; blend until creamy. Spread the filling onto the crust. Refrigerate the tart overnight. Top with the peaches and raspberries or cherries, and serve. Makes 8 servings.
