Lemon Blueberry Tart - Gluten free, Dairy Free, Healthy

[Tasty]

Name of Recipe: Blueberry Lemon Tart (adapted for Thermomix from Peggy K's Kitchen Cures)
Number of People:8-10
Ingredients:

I doubled the ingredients (except topping) to fit into my 25cm tart tin.

Crust:
100g raw pecans
150g raisins

For the filling:
200g raw cashews
1 large lemon, juice & zest
¼ orange, juiced
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon ground chia seeds
110g maple syrup
125g coconut water or plain water

For the topping:
1 cup blueberries + ¼ cup wild blueberries
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground chia


Preparation:

To make the crust, weigh in pecans and raisins in Thermomix bowl and process for 10 secs – Speed 8 until the mixture comes together somewhat. Empty into tart tin with removable bottom and press onto base and sides using the back of wet spoon. Place in the freezer while you work on the filling.

To make the filling, add all ingredients into the TMX bowl and for 30 seconds – Speed 8, until smooth. Pour in more water if needed to make a smooth but thick mixture. Empty into tart tin.

Chill overnight in freezer before serving.

To make the topping, add ¼ cup blueberries to the TMX bowl, along with vanilla extract and ground chia. Puree until smooth 10 secs – Speed 8. Add remaining cup of blueberries  and mix for 15 secs – Reverse + Speed 3. Spoon onto tart filling

It is an expensive recipe but healthy. It tastes fresh and zesty.

Quick, give me a piece Tasty - I could do with a few benefits from that list (beautifying, anti-aging and heart healthy) 
It looks amazing, does it taste anything like a cheesecake - it looks like one/

Tasty we don't have to worry about GF but I still love the sound of this. I will make it, possibly just after Christmas for a specific guest. Thanks.

Thanks so much for the recipe, Tasty.  Blueberries and lemons are readily available locally and lots of customers love the gluten free option, even if they don't actually need it.    Winning.

Cookie - We are not gluten free either but sometimes I need to make vegan food and that's why I chose this.

JD - I guess it tastes a little like cheesecake, the frozen versions. You can't really tell it's a lot of cashews. I like how at the end of each recipe it has that info....and the earlier chapters in the book describe the benefits of the ingredients in regard to these. It's quite interesting to learn about actually.

Cecilia - it's good that blueberries and lemons are readily avail to you but it's actually the cashews and pecans that make it expensive.

Judy - having made the regular lemon blueberry cheesecake recently with phildelphia cheese, etc I would say I prefer this one now as it's fresher and not as heavy so you feel great afterwarss.
