Ingredients

  • 2 cups 250 g almond flour
  • 8 120 g pitted medjool dates
  • 2 Tablespoons 30 ml melted coconut oil
  • 1 cup 150 g roasted hazelnuts
  • 2 ½ cups 330 g pears, cut into chunks
  • 6 90 g medjool dates, pitted
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt, optional
  • 2 pears, sliced, for garnish
  • ½ cup 115 g dried apricots, blended with 1/2 cup water, for garnish

Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place a tart pan on a sheet tray and set aside.
    2. For the crust: Fit the Food Processor with the Multi-Use Blade.  Place the almond flour, dates, and coconut oil into the Vitamix container and secure the lid. Start the machine and process for 45 seconds.
    3. Spread the crust mixture over the prepared tart pan and press onto the bottom and sides of the pan making an even crust on the bottom and sides. Place in preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove and cool completely.
    4. For the filling: Place the hazelnuts, pears, dates, spices, and salt into the Vitamix blending container and secure the lid. Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 45 seconds, using the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades. Remove the mixture from the blending container and spread evenly onto pre-baked tart dough. 
    5. Top the hazelnut filling neatly with extra sliced pears if desired, and brush with apricot puree. Place in preheated oven and bake for 18-20 or until lightly golden brown.
