  • 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

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.
