Berry Mango Sunrise Tarts

Berry Mango Sunrise Tarts [Raw, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegan Option]

Believe it or not, these treats are as easy to make as they are pretty. While they appear complex, the recipe only requires a few steps and about 30 minutes. The result is a hot-summer-day-worthy dessert with no added sugar.

Recipe Time: 4 hours total [30 minutes to make, 3-4 hours in freezer]

You'll Need: small tart forms [or tall cookie cutters], blender, food processor

INGREDIENTS [4 - 2 inch tarts]

2 kent mangoes
1 c. raspberries
½ c. dried goji berries

INGREDIENTS FOR CRUST

2 T. raw honey (use agave for vegan)
1 c. raw walnuts
½ tsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. ginger powder
¼ c. shredded coconut

Puree mangoes in a blender or food processor. Pour one third of the puree into a bowl and leave the remaining puree in the blender.

Mango Bowl

Add ¼ cup goji berries and ½ cup raspberries to the blender and blend. Pour half of that mixture into another bowl.

Then add remaining raspberries and goji berries to what is left in the blender for the 3rd puree.

Add walnuts, raw honey, shredded coconut, ginger powder, and cinnamon to the food processor. Pulse and process until the mixture looks like a crumbly dough. You should be able to shape it with your hands.

Berry Mango Sunrise Tarts Mixer

Cut a square of parchment, wax, or foil slightly larger than the size of the cylinder - one for each tart. Use your finger to lightly coat the inside of each tart form with coconut oil. Place the cylinder on top of the paper squares on a plate. Spoon dough into each and use your fingers to press it down into a crust layer - about ¼ thick.

Next, spoon the reddest puree over the crust and smooth it out. This layer should be about ½" thick. Next up is the orange-y layer. Gently spoon a portion on top of the red layer and use the back of your spoon to spread it. Repeat with the mango puree. As you are smoothing out each layer of puree, be careful not to push down too hard. Doing so will mix the layers together and you won't get the "3 layer" look.

Once all that layering is done, place the plate with tarts into the freezer and chill for at least 3 hours. When they're frozen, remove them from the freezer, and slowly push the tarts out of the forms. Ours came out without a fight, but if yours are being stubborn, wrap your hands around the cylinder to warm it, then try to remove the tarts again.

We topped our tarts with raspberries and allowed them to thaw in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before eating them. They're best eaten with a fork and slowly - to avoid the dreaded brain freeze.

The Global Girl gave us the inspiration to try a 3-layer dessert. After seeing how easy these are, we're already scheming future flavor possibilities.

    I made these tarts 6 years ago and they were fantastic. I am commenting now because this recipe contains one of the best gluten free “crusts” I’ve had in a dessert. I used this crust (a must larger portion) with pumpkin pie (added a pinch of nutmeg) and cheesecake (added a bit of real vanilla extract). I almost ate it all before I baked the desserts. Thank you!

    This recipe looks delicious, however I'm allergic to walnuts so can you supplement those with something else?

      Hi Alex! You could certainly try substituting almonds or cashews for walnuts. Either option should work!

      Hi Martina -

      You could try to sub in a mixture of oats and oat flour instead of nuts. You could also try crushed graham crackers. We've only tried this with nuts, but I'm sure either of those options would work!

    How many tarts does this recipe make? I checked the referenced website and it is not mentioned there either. Thanks.

      It makes 4 – 2 inch tarts. :) Thanks for the question, I'll make that more clear in the post!

      You could try graham crackers or a sweet cereal – just crush them up well and combine with the listed ingredients! Let me know what you decide to use. :)

      You could try to use a muffin pan with saran wrap or a paper muffin cup. It might be a little tricky but it could work!

          Ahhh... after doing some googling, you're correct. They are just professional grade cookie cutters. They were labeled as tart forms at the nearby kitchen store where we picked them up. We found a similar item on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/Ateco-14403-3-5-Inch-Stainless-Cutter/dp/B002A8QOUU/ref=pd_sim_k_3

    This looks great. How much of the berries do you put in the mango purée the first time (for the orange middle). And how much coconut oil do you put in the crust? I see the shredded coconut but the oil is not listed. Thanks!

      Sorry, that step was a bit vague! Add 1/2 cup of raspberries and 1/4 cup of goji berries.

      And instead of coconut oil, that step should say shredded coconut. No oil goes in the crust besides a bit around the tart form to help the dessert slide out after freezing. Fixed our mistakes - thanks for asking!

    I made these the other day using thawed pulsed frozen dark cherries and they were great! I would suggest using vanilla extract on the crust. Also topping with soy yogurt makes them super tasty.
