Equipment

  • food processor or blender
  • tart pans

Ingredients
  

No-Bake Crust

  • 2 cups pecans
  • 1 cup pitted Medjool dates, packed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt

Berry Chia Compote

  • 2 cups Stahlbush Island Farms Northwest Berry Blend
  • ½ cup water
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 tbsp chia seeds

Instructions
 

For the no-bake crust

  • Add the pecans, dates, vanilla, cinnamon and salt to the food processor (or a high-power blender), and blitz until a coarse meal starts to form. Process until the mixture begins to clump; it should stick together when pressed between your fingertips. Do not over-process, there should be some texture from the nuts!
  • Divide the mixture between four or five 4-inch (10 cm) round tart pans. Press the mixture evenly onto the base and sides, pressing with the bottom of a measuring cup to smooth things out. Place the tarts on a sheet pan and place in the freezer to firm up. If you're making them ahead, cover the tarts first to prevent any off flavors from the freezer.

For the berry chia compote

  • Carefully cut any larger frozen strawberries in half so the berries are more uniform in size. Combine the berries, water, and maple syrup in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the berries from sticking. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in the vanilla. Sprinkle in the chia seeds and stir well. Press any clumps of chia seeds against the size of the pan and mix in, and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Stir one more time really well and then transfer to a sealed container. Refrigerate for up to a week, or freeze for a few months.

To assemble the tarts

  • Just before serving time, remove the tart shells from the freezer. Fill each tart shell a third full (approximately 2 tbsp) with the berry chia compote. Spoon a few tablespoons of yogurt over the top of the berry layer, taking care not to overfill especially if adding fruit on top. Garnish with fresh berries if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
