ReplyCan you use almond meal?
ReplyThis looks delicious, Is the coconut cream unsweetened, also, the desiccated coconut can I buy unsweetened and food process it? Thank you 😊☀️💛
ReplyHi, The coconut cream is unsweetened. Yes, you can.
ReplyI did the tart yesterday. It has a number of flaws so I won’t redo it ago. Base: The ratio dates / nuts is not correct. The base is heavy and filling. It would be great for energy balls but if you eat a piece of the tart it’s so mouthful and filling that you lose the fluffiness of the coco The filling The ratio maple s / coco is not correct. It’s by far too sweet. You need to probably reduce of by half and increase the coco cream or milk to make it moisty Topping The biggest issue here. T
ReplyCan I freeze few slices for later?
ReplyYes, you can.
ReplyPretty good recipe overall (wanted to rate it 4 STARS, but I made a mistake...). The taste was good, but there is a few things to modify, according to me: - I couldn't create balls with the coconut filling, as it directly disintegrated when I tried to shape the balls; - the topping was too liquidy. I had to add two chocolate squares for it to be creamier. But I still recommend this recipe!
