Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 1 cup almonds
  • 9 medjool dates , pits removed
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil , at room temperature
  • 1 (15oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large ripe peaches , thinly sliced

Instructions
 

  • The night before you are going to make the tart, put the can of coconut milk in the refrigerator. This will cause the water to separate from the cream.
  • When you are ready to assemble, take the can out of the fridge, open it up, and you should have a thick layer of coconut cream on the top. Use a spoon to skim that off. Save the coconut water for a smoothie later.
  • Put the coconut cream in a medium sized mixing bowl. It will be pretty chunky and thick at first, but just use a hand blender to slowly start mixing it. Once it has smoothed out a bit, add the maple syrup and vanilla, and keep blending for another 2 minutes, until it starts to turn into whipped cream. Set aside while you make the crust.
  • Before you assemble the crust, soak the dates in a bowl of hot water for 5 minutes. Once soaked, add the walnuts, almonds, dates, and coconut oil to a food processor. Pulse the mixture until it starts to come together into a thick dough-like consistency. You will have to stop the processor every few seconds to scrape down the sides with a wooden spoon. Once it has come together evenly, press the dough into a spring form pan (or a regular pie pan). *see notes
  • Use your hands to gently press the dough into the bottom of the pan, making sure it is an even layer.
  • Next, use a spatula to spread the coconut cream in an even layer on top of the crust. Lastly, arrange the peaches in an even layer on top of the coconut cream.
  • Put the tart in the fridge for at least 2 hours (or overnight) so that is can stiffen up a bit before you cut into it.

Notes

*I like using a spring form pan for this because you can remove the outside of the pan to make cutting the tart easier. But it still works with a regular pie pan, it will just take a little more work to cut it and get it out cleanly.
