Ingredients

• 150 g almonds
• 10 dates
• 400 g coconut milk
• 2 mangoes
• 2 tbsp lime juice (from an unwaxed lime)
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 tsp agar agar

Method

You’ll need: saucepan · tart tin · blender · chopping board · knife · wooden spoon

1. Blitz the almonds, dates and salt in a blender into a sticky mixture. Press the base into a tart tin and chill for 30 min.
2. Peel the mangoes, cut the flesh away from the stones and purée finely with the lime juice.
3. Put the mango purée into a saucepan with the coconut milk and agar agar and stir well so no lumps remain.
4. Bring the mixture to the boil, stirring, and let it simmer briefly so the agar agar sets reliably.
5. Pour the cream over the chilled base and leave the tart to set in the fridge.
6. To serve, cut into slices and enjoy well chilled.
