Fig and Strawberry Raw Bites

Prep Notes

Figs are so versatile and the best way to dress up any recipe – from meat to fresh salads to desserts and more! Figs are also loaded with health benefits, dense with fiber, and packed with potassium. They’re the perfect complement to any dish!

Ingredients

Crust:

• 1 cup dates

• 1 cup almonds

Filling:

• 1-1/2 cups cashews (soaked for 4 hours)

• 1/3 cup melted coconut oil

• 1/2 cup maple syrup

• 1/2 cup coconut cream

• 5 fresh strawberries

• 1 package (1-1/2 cups) freeze-dried strawberries

• 4 fresh figs + figs for topping

• 1/4 cup melted chocolate

Directions

1. Place the dates and almonds in a food processor until well combined. Form a crust on the bottom of a silicone mold.

2. Add the soaked cashews, coconut oil, maple syrup, coconut cream, and fresh strawberries to a blender and blend until smooth.

3. Add the freeze-dried strawberries and figs and blend for about 2–4 minutes.

4. When the mixture is fully blended, fill your silicone molds. Place them in the freezer for about an hour.

5. Once you have popped out your fully frozen tarts, melt the chocolate in a double boiler and drizzle lightly over your tarts. Top with fresh fig slices.

6. Enjoy!
