Pecan Crust Fruit Tarts

These tarts make a wonderful summery dessert and are fabulous as a dish at a party... for those of you at our Anniversary party these are what I brought. So good you almost forget there's nothing bad for you in them...

Pecan Crust Fruit Tarts

Ingredients: (custard)

1 3/4 Cup Unsweetened Plain Almond Milk (divided)

1/4 Cup Pure Organic Maple Syrup

3 Tbs Arrowroot Flour

3 Cage Free Organic Egg Yokes, Beaten

Instructions: (custard)

Pour 1 1/2 Cups of your almond milk into a saucepan (leaving 1/4 set to the side). Add your maple syrup to your almond milk and on medium low heat slowly warm your milk until almost boiling. 

While your almond milk is warming take your reserved 1/4 cup almond milk and stir in your arrowroot flour until dissolved.

Once your almond milk in the saucepan is nearly boiling stir in your reserved arrowroot flour/almond milk mixture.

Stirring constantly until thickened and mixture comes to a slow boil your custard will be forming. This takes a LONG time so be patient and don't jack up the heat, although tempting. Remember to keep stirring.

Now slightly beat your eggs. Once your eggs are beaten temper them with your hot custard before adding them to the saucepan. I took around 4 Tbs full of custard and added it to the eggs to be on the safe side. Now that your eggs are tempered time to combine them to your almond milk entirely.

Continue cooking for another few minutes. Pour your custard into a bowl and allow to fully cool before refrigerating. Lay plastic wrap over the top to avoid a skim layer on the top.

Ingredients: (crust)

1 1/2 Cups Pecans

1 Organic Free Range Egg

1 Tbs Coconut Flour

1/8 tsp Sea Salt

Instructions: (crust)

Place your pecans into a high speed blender or food processor and pulse into the texture of coarse gravel.

Next pulse in your egg, flour and salt.

Grease either a mini muffin tin or a regular muffin tin so that your crust does not stick.

Bake at 350 for around 10 to 15 minutes.
