👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions: Crafting Your Vegan Delight

1. Prepare the Crust:

Soak the Dates: Place the pitted dates in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften.
Process Dry Ingredients: In a food processor, blend rolled oats, almonds, and walnuts until finely ground.
Add Wet Ingredients: Drain the dates and add them to the processor along with coconut oil, agave syrup, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is sticky and holds together when pressed.
Form the Crust: Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a tart pan. Use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface.
Chill: Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.

2. Prepare the Raspberry Cream Filling:

Cook the Raspberries: In a saucepan, heat the frozen raspberries over medium heat until they break down into a sauce. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, yielding a smooth puree.
Blend the Cream Base: In a blender, combine the raspberry puree, plant-based yogurt, coconut cream, agave syrup, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
Activate Agar Agar: In a small saucepan, mix agar agar powder with ¼ cup water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to activate.
Combine: Quickly add the activated agar agar to the raspberry cream mixture and blend to combine thoroughly.

3. Assemble the Tart:

Fill the Crust: Pour the raspberry cream filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Set: Refrigerate the tart for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm and set.

4. Serve:

Garnish: Before serving, decorate with fresh raspberries, mint leaves, or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
Slice and Enjoy: Use a sharp knife to slice the tart and serve chilled.
