I love this raw recipe because it’s SO much easier to make than a baked one! This crazy dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan remake of your favourite traditional dessert is one not to miss. Oh, and for those of you who don’t like to share, especially when it comes to dessert, you can make these raw lime tarts mini-sized and enjoy one by yourself! That’ll teach you – dessert stealers. I hope you love these Raw Lime Tarts as much as I do!
There’s something about lime tarts that make me really happy. They’re equally creamy and tarty, tangy and sweet, satisfying and crisp with a crumbly texture.
I’d like to say my Lime Tarts are the perfect dessert for the warmer seasons of the year, but really, they’re a good all-year rounder; so friends in the Southern hemisphere, it’s time to get on these!
