Artichoke & cherry tomato tart with pesto and homemade cashew cream ✨

The perfect easy and light weeknight meal that comes together so quickly, and is PACKED with flavour!

If you are planning on hosting a party or family dinner, this is such a crowd pleaser! And what’s wonderful about it is how versatile it is - you can substitute any of the toppings with what you have in your fridge/ what you like most. 🙏

This is the perfect reminder that cooking good food does not have to be complicated or overwhelming! Cooking at home gives you the opportunity to eat the foods that you love, while discovering and experimenting with different seasonings, ingredients and dishes you love! 🌿

Recipe:
•1 package of store bought puff pastry
•4 heaped tbsp pesto (I used kale & h**p seed pesto)
•6 tbsp homemade cashew cream
•280g jar of artichokes
•3/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
•handful of fresh basil
•salt & pepper to taste
•3 tbsp olive oil

1. Preheat oven to 200°C.
2. Roll out the pastry, and fold over the edges, pressing down firmly in the corners. Place on a lined baking tray.
3. Add the pesto and cashew cheese, and spread over the tart evenly.
4. Top the tart with the artichokes & halved cherry tomatoes.
5. Brush the edges with olive oil, and drizzle the rest of the olive oil over the tart. Add salt & pepper to taste.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the tart is golden and crispy.
7. Top with fresh basil, and serve immediately with a fresh salad.

I will be posting my homemade cashew cream in my next post, keep your eyes open for when that drops. 🫶✨

I hope you have a wonderful day! 🤍

RAW SPIRULINA & BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE BARS 🫐💙

You guys… I’m sooo excited to share this recipe with you all!! I was having such fun getting creative in the kitchen, and these bars turned out so beautifully. 🥹

These creamy raw vegan cheesecake bars made with spirulina and blueberries are absolutely heavenly. Not only are they beautiful to look at, but are just as magical to make. ✨

Let’s take a look at the ingredient Spirulina 🫶 what an amazing powerhouse this ingredient is!!
Spirulina is a type of blue-green algae, and is believed to be one of the oldest life forms on earth! 🌎🤯

It is a potent source of nutrients, and carries strong antioxidant effects - making it a powerful anti-inflammatory. It is rich in a range of vitamins and minerals that are essential for maintaining a healthy immune system, and is just SO beautiful to look at. 🥹

Recipe:
Base:
•1 cup walnuts
•1 1/4 cups dates, tightly packed
•1/2 cup rolled oats
•1/2 tsp salt

Filling:
•36 fresh blueberries
•1 cup cashews, soaked in hot water for 1 hour
•200 ml coconut cream
•1 tsp vanilla paste
•1 tbsp spirulina powder
•1/4 cup melted coconut oil
•1/4 cup maple syrup

•25g dark chocolate, melted

1. Soak the cashews in hot water for 1 hour.
2. Place all the ingredients for the base into a food processor and pulse until well combined. You should be able to press the dough with your fingertips.
3. Press into the bases of a 12 bar rectangle silicone mold. Place in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
4. Place all the filling ingredients into a food processor (besides the fresh blueberries), and blend until completely smooth.
5. Prepare the blueberries by slicing them in half. Remove the tray from the freezer, and place 6 blueberry halves in each mold.
6. Evenly pour the filling over the blueberries into each mold.
7. Place in the freezer for 4 hours, or until set. 8.Remove from the freezer, pop them out of their molds. Melt the dark chocolate, and drizzle over the top of the bars.
9. Enjoy right away, or keep in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
