Raw Orange Coconut Tartlets-made with macadamia nuts and fresh orange juice and zest, these make a great base for a dessert. Top with sorbet or drizzle with chocolate.
Ingredients
1 cup raw macadamia nuts
2 cups shredded redued-fat dried coconut
2 tbsp freshly grated orange zest (or lemon, both are awesome-can't go wrong)
¼ tsp kosher/sea salt
¼ cup agave nectar (or other liquid sweetener, honey would be great with the orange) *you could do a date paste instead, but will turn the dough brown
about 1-2 tbsp orange juice (or lemon if using lemon zest)-to help mixture bind together
Instructions
Place all ingredients except agave and juice into a food processor and pulse
Add agave/liquid sweetener and pulse until mixture starts to come together. Add in juice, just enough to get the mixture to hold together to form a ball when squeezed.
Line a cookie cutter with saran wrap on inside. Push in enough tartlet mixture to press into bottom and sides of mold. Flip upside down, and press out.
Freeze on tray, and store. They last in the freezer for weeks. Serve frozen.
If serving filled with sorbet, fill day of serving and re-freeze.
If serving as a macaroon-use small cookie scoop to form. Freeze and drizzle with chocolate. Re-freeze and serve frozen.
