• 1 C soft pitted medjool dates
• 1 TBSP coconut oil

FILLING

• 6 C fresh cranberries
• 2 TBSP orange zest
• 1/2 C orange juice

Method

1. Add nuts and oats to a food processor and mix until well combined. Add in salt, dates, and coconut oil and mix until a dough forms. If it’s too dry, add 1 TBSP of water at a time. When a ball forms, it’s ready.
2. Press dough into a 9” tart pan. Pierce with a fork a few times. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
3. Add cranberries, orange zest, orange juice, lemon zest, maple syrup and beet powder to a saucepan. Cover and simmer for 13-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Transfer mixture to a food processor and add coconut cream and agar agar, puréeing until totally smooth. Return to saucepan and heat stirring for 2-3 minutes.
5. Let cool slightly before pouring into crust. Add toppings. Place in the fridge for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, to chill. Serve cold.
