Vegan Lemon Tart Slice

We created just the right balance between sweet and tangy in this citrusy gluten-free treat. The tart has a chewy crust and a creamy lemony filling. We don’t use any eggs, milk or butter to make it suitable for a vegan diet. Enjoy as a snack, after school treat or dessert. Add some yogurt and coconut or dairy cream as a topping. We make our vegan lemon tart with coconut cream, brown sugar syrup, cassava flour, lime juice, rolled oats, coconut oil, cashew nuts, corn starch, cane sugar, and vanilla extract. 

Limes are a good source of Vitamin C for a strong immune system. Oats are a great gluten-free source of soluable fiber, which helps digestion.Coconut oil is a good source of healthy fats that are important for proper brain function, reducing hunger and raising the good blood cholesterol (HDL) levels. Cashews have a low glycemic index (GI), which means they won’t spike your blood sugar levels, and are full of fiber, to help digestion, healthy fats and high-quality plant-based protein. They’re also loaded with magnesium, which helps with heart health as well as regulating nerves and blood pressure. Cashews may also be good for people with Type 2 diabetes by controlling blood sugar and insulin levels. We use organic cashews that we source organic cashews that we source from an independent  collective in Wonogiri, Indonesia, that supports small-holder farmers and their families.
