Superberry Choc Tarts

 

With chocolate ganache engineered from nourishing avocado and a host of wholefood ingredients, these dairy- and gluten-free Superberry Choc Tarts are a clean twist on Christmas dessert.

What you’ll need (makes 6)

• 2 cups (200 g) desiccated coconut
• 1 cup (150 g) raw almonds
• 14 pitted medjool dates
• 1⁄3 cup (65 g) coconut oil
• Pinch of salt

Chocolate Ganache

• 2 avocados
• ½ cup (60 g) cacao powder
• ½ cup (125 ml) pure maple syrup
• 4 pitted medjool dates
• 1 tbsp maca powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Toppings

• 1 ½ cups (180 g) raspberries
• 2 tbsp chia seeds
• 2 pitted medjool dates
• 1 tbsp beetroot powder
• 1 tbsp acai berry powder

What you'll do

Put coconut, almonds, dates, coconut oil, dates and salt in a food processor. Process well until combined. Firmly press mixture onto base and sides of six small tart tins. Place in fridge to set.

To make the topping, blend raspberries, chia seeds and dates in a high-powered blender until smooth. Pour the mixture into a bowl and stir through beetroot powder and acai berry powder. Set aside to thicken for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, to make the chocolate ganache, scoop avocado flesh into cleaned blender with remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.

Spoon ganache into tart shells and add topping. Place in fridge to set for at least one hour. Enjoy!

Banana protein ice cream crunch

 

Post-morning workout feeds have never looked so good.

The cheat: Banana protein ice cream with coconut, almonds and honey drizzle.

The 'grammer: @fitfoodfash

What you’ll need
2 cups low-fat coconut milk (or coconut cream)
2 ripe bananas
2 scoops vanilla protein (we used whey)
1/2 cup plain yoghurt
2 tbsp manuka honey
Cinnamon (optional)

What you’ll do
In a blender, blend coconut milk, bananas, protein, yoghurt, honey and cinnamon if you wish. Mix in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts (optional). Tip into iceblock trays or a large container and freeze. If using iceblock trays, you can eat straight from frozen. If using an ice cream container, you may need to remove from freezer 10 to 30 minutes before eating so it’s soft enough scoop out. Serve with extra honey and nuts.

The WH&F test kitchen tricked this up with almonds and sultanas. Try mixed dried fruit for a festive twist. Mason jars lend a sense of occasion to Christmas dessert too.
