Instructions

Tarts

  • Add all of the ingredients for the crust to a food processor or blender. Blend until it is a thick crust like consistency. The crust should be sticky and almost resemble a Larabar. (The paleo version will likely stick better. The keto version will be less sticky but still sticky enough to spread on the bottom of the tart pans.
  • Transfer the crust to each individual tart pan (or one 9 inch pie pan) and spread an even layer to cover the entire pan, including the sides.
  • Add the chilled coconut milk (do not use the water at the bottom of the can, only the heavy cream at the top) to a mixer. Add the rest of the ingredients to the coconut milk and mix on high until combined.
  • Add the chilled coconut milk (do not use the water at the bottom of the can, only the heavy cream at the top) to a mixer along with the can of pumpkin puree. Mix together on medium speed.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients to the pumpkin mixture and mix on high until combined.
  • Once combined, transfer the creamy puree mixture over the nut crust in each tart pan. Fill to the top of the crust.
  • Transfer each filled tart pan to the freezer to harden between 2-3 hours.
  • Before serving, remove from freezer and let sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. Serve with fresh coconut cream and a dash of cinnamon.

Coconut Whipped Cream

  • Chill your can of coconut milk in the freezer overnight. Also, pop your mixing bowl and whisk into the freezer 20 mins before starting.
  • Add the hardened coconut cream from the top of the can and transfer to your mixing bowl. Make sure to leave the water in the bottom of the can.
  • Mix the coconut cream with the whisk attatchement on medium/high for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. You will notice the cream become fluffy and have peaks.
  • Add 1 tbsp of sweetener of choice and whip on high for another 2 minutes or until fluffy.
