Cashew Butter & Jelly Cookie Tart

I am going to be real with you guys..

I thought about what to write about, in regards to this new recipe, but in all honesty, I have nothing to say… except this is DANG GOOD.

not only is it remarkably easy, requires minimal ingredients, and tastes great, but it’s also full of ingredients you put in, that you can feel good about.

And don’t get me started about this flavor combo.. we all know it’s my favorite. It brings me, and probably most, back. But when we replace the classic peanut butter with its long lost bestie, cashew, great things happen.

For the cookie crust:

2/3 cup almond flour

1/2 cup cashew butter

1 tsp vanilla

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp sea salt

For the filling:

1 cup cashew butter

2/3 cup nut milk (I used cashew)

1/4 cup + 1 tbsp melted coconut oil

1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey if not vegan)

1 tsp vanilla

1/4 tsp sea salt

For the jelly layer:

1/2 cup natural, no sugar added, jelly of choice

For the cashew butter topping (optional):

1/4 cup cashew butter

2 tbsp melted coconut oil

How to:

Preheat oven to 350F.
Combine all cookie crust ingredients together until a dough forms. Press into the bottom of a lined/greased tart/pie pan.

Bake for About 12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.

To make the filling, combine all ingredients together, mixing until completely smooth. You want this mixture to be a ganache-like texture. If your mixture is too thick, add 1 tbsp or so more of nut milk until you reach the desired consistency. Spread over the cooled cookie crust.

Take your jelly and gently place it in the center of the tart, slowly spreading it outwards, leaving about an inch or two from

the edge of the cashew butter layer, so you can still see it.

Stir together the melted coconut oil and cashew butter until smooth. Repeat the same process you did with the jelly, stopping an inch or so away from the end of the jelly layer.

Place in the fridge to set. Enjoy!
