Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups Almonds blanched
1 cup Coconut flakes
6 Dates soaked
3 tbsp Coconut oil or ghee or butter
1/4 cup Date water
pinch Salt

Instructions

Soak dates for 2 hours.
2. Add blanched almonds to the food processor and pulse to crumble.(You could also use almond flour, but I like the crust to be more crunchy, so I used almonds in the food processor.)
3. Add coconut flakes and pulse it again.
4. Add soaked dates and pulse it again.
5. Add coconut oil, ghee, or butter and pulse it again to paste.If it is not holding together, add some water from the soaked dates.
6. Transfer it and press it into the pan to the removable bottom tart form. Bake it at 350 F for 20 minutes until golden brown.
7. Cool before filling: Allow the crust to cool completely before adding your filling, especially for unbaked fillings.
8. You can cover the edges of teh crust with parchment paper if they brown too quickly during baking.
