Raw Gingerbread Cranberry Christmas Tarts (grain-free & vegan)

Raw Gingerbread Cranberry Christmas Tarts (grain-free & vegan)

My last Christmas recipe! As promised I have a raw version of my Gingerbread Christmas Mini Cakes for you today – Raw Gingerbread Cranberry Christmas Tarts, just fitting these in the last minute.

They are the yummiest raw tarts completely inspired by Christmas that I hope you will love.

I really went overboard in making these and used lots of wonderful ingredients to make them really special. For the crust I’ve used a mix of almonds and walnuts with medjool dates, figs and muscatel raisins with orange zest and lovely gingerbread spices.

And for the filling I’ve opted for macadamia nuts with fresh cranberries, coconut butter and orange juice. Once all of these ingredients have some time together they truly shine.

If you have some filling left over, pop it into the fridge and you can pipe some on top when you’re decorating the tarts. I did find it little tricky as it’s quite rich, but if you’re not after perfection, it will be just fine. Plus you can always cover it with some snow :)

Wishing you the most wonderful Christmas filled with LOVE & LIGHT.

With much Love Hxx

Author: Hana, Nirvana Cakery
Serves: 6 tarts
Ingredients
  • Crust layer:
  • 150g mix of almonds & walnuts (1½ cup)
  • 120g mix of medjool dates, figs & raisins (1 cup)
  • ¼ orange, zest
  • 1½tsp ground ginger
  • 1tsp cinnamon
  • pinch ground cloves
  • pinch pink salt
  • 1tsp maple syrup if needed

  • Cranberry cream filling:
  • 120g macadamias, soaked overnight (1 cup)
  • 100g fresh cranberries (1 cup)
  • ¼ orange, zest
  • ½tsp cinnamon
  • pinch pink salt
  • 60ml maple syrup (1/4 cup)
  • 60ml orange juice (1/4 cup)
  • 1tbsp lemon juice
  • ½tsp vanilla
  • 60ml water (1/4 cup)
  • 200g coconut butter (1 cup)

  • Topping:
  • fresh cranberries
  • rosemary sprigs
  • blended flaked coconut for snow
Instructions
  1. Place almonds and walnuts into food processor and pulse few times until they are coarsely ground. Add pitted dates, figs, raisins, orange zest, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and salt and blend until the mixture starts coming together when pressed. Add maple syrup if needed and blend until the mixture sticks together.
  2. Spoon the mix evenly into the six tart tins. Press tightly onto the base and the sides to form a crust. Place into a fridge.
  3. In a double boiler gently melt coconut butter and set aside.
  4. Rinse the soaked macadamias under running water and place into high speed blender. Add cranberries, orange zest, cinnamon, salt, maple syrup, orange juice, lemon juice, vanilla and water and blend until smooth. If necessary add little more water or maple syrup. Slowly add melted coconut butter and blend until incorporated. It should be fairly thick creamy consistency.
  5. Pour or spoon evenly onto the crust layer of each tart and smooth out the top.
  6. Place into a freezer to set. You can also set them in fridge overnight, but it's easier to remove them out of tin when frozen.
  7. Once set carefully remove from the tins and leave to thaw before decorating.
  8. Top with fresh cranberries and rosemary sprigs.
  9. To make the snow effect, blend some flaked coconut in a blender until desired consistency. Sprinkle on top and around the decorated tarts.
  10. Store in a fridge or freezer.
  11. Enjoy!
Notes
I've used 6 small 10cm tart tins with removable base in this recipe. You can line the tins with some cling film if you prefer, but I don't tend to do that, because once they are frozen you can easily push them out of the tins if the base is removable.
If you have some filling left over, pop it into the fridge and you can pipe some on top when you're decorating the tarts.
You can replace the macadamias with cashews if you prefer or a mix of the two.

Happy New Year beautiful! ✨ I’m feeling that Happy New Year beautiful! ✨

I’m feeling that this is the year we all need to ease into. Use this sacred pause we’re in until the 5th of January to really go within and listen deeply to what are you being called to birth this year. Forget creating goals from your ego. What are those whispers of your soul calling you to? Is it time to take the lead in your life? ✨

If this year is a continuation of 2020 we will need more conscious embodied leaders taking charge to create the change our planet needs. It’s us who create the future. ✨

Now that many of us are awake we need conscious women and men to walk together hand in hand! We’ve got this! 

✨🕊✨

Sending so much Love Hana xx

What dessert are you making this year? To be honest I’ve got my gingerbread cookies stored in fridge, the leftover chocolate cranberry orange cake in freezer so I’m quite sorted! But still pondering whether to make the gingerbread cheesecake. And just have written a new recipe for a lentil nut roast which I’m really looking forward to making on Christmas Day. 🎄

Chocolate Cranberry Orange Cake 🌱 @amoredimona Chocolate Cranberry Orange Cake 🌱 @amoredimona has challenged me to create vegan, grain-free and nut-free chocolate recipe and so I took on the challenge with this layer cake. And I have finally experienced with cassava and tigernut flours, something I’ve been wanting to do for ages. If you fancy some grain-free baking check out the recipe on the blog. 😉

Have a wonderful weekend beautiful! ✨
