July 3, 2014 – On Lowcountry Live, holistic chef and founder of graw foods Ken Immer joined me to make a patriotic, vegan fruit tart for the 4th of July! Why would we want to enjoy vegan food on the 4th? Find out!

Here’s that sumptuous Vegan Fruit Tart Recipe:

Coconut Cashew Cream

2 Cups Cashew pieces
1 Cup Coconut milk
¼ Cup Coconut oil (melted)
2 Tablespoons Coconut nectar
1/2 t Vanilla extract

Soak cashews in water for 30 minutes to soften. Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend well until creamy. Spread in a prebaked tart shell. Top with sliced strawberries (red), bananas (white), and blueberries (blue) for a patriotic treat!

Tart Shells

1 Cup graw crumbs (you can buy them here)
1/4 Cup Water
1 Tablespoon Coconut nectar or agave

Mix all ingredients together to make a nice dough, not too sticky. Allow to rest for 5 minutes and it will continue to firm up. Press the dough into tart pan(s) about 1/8″ thick. Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool and fill with your favorite vegan custard or jam!

Enjoy!
