Raw and vegan persimmon tarts

Its persimmon season and I have to tell you guys.. I love them! Since I can't just serve guests a persimmon as dessert with christmas I decided to try and make 1 person tarts. They turned out so unbelievably cute. 

Persimmon health benefits
Persimmon is a high nutritive fruit with a high amouunt of vitamin minerals. They contain high amounts of antioxidants and phytonutriens. These two nutrients neutralize free radicals which cause many degenerative diseases. Also persimmons are a best friend to those who want to lose weight. Due to the fact that they are rich in fiber and other nutrients they promote weight loss. 






















1 person raw and vegan persimmon tarts
What you need
1 cup of raw (unsalted) nuts (I used walnuts)
1 cup of medjool dates
1 tbsp of carob/cacao powder
2 tbsp of shredded coconut
2 (very ripe) hachiya persimmons

What to do
Crust
In your food processor mix the walnuts until you have a rough flour. Add the dates, carob and shredded coconut and pulse until everything sticks together. Place the mixture into your tart tin, leaving place in the middle for the persimmon mixture. Place the tart tins in your freezer for 15 minutes.
Filling
Peel the persimmons and place them in your food processor. Pulse until you obtain a smooth mixture. Pour the mixture on top of the crust, top with a few pomegranate seeds and.. ENJOY!!
