Shhh… don’t tell the kids, but these sweet treats are actually quite healthy! With a sweet, chewy crust made of just dates and cashews, an “icing” layer of Greek yogurt (you can use any flavor you like) and shredded coconut, and a topping of whatever fresh fruit you’ve got on hand (we used nectarines, but berries, kiwi and even pineapple would be delicious.), these tasty little tartlets will satisfy your little ones’ sweet cravings while also serving up some seriously good nutrition. That’s right: They’ve got protein, healthy fats, calcium, fiber and vitamin C, so they won’t just satisfy growing appetites, they’ll support growing bodies, too!
Ingredients:
- 20 California dates, pitted and soaked in warm water for 10-15 minutes
- 1 and 1/2 cups raw unsalted cashews
- 1 cup Greek yogurt, any flavor (we chose vanilla)
- Fresh seasonal fruit of choice
- Shredded coconut
- Honey for drizzle and granola for topping, optional
Directions:
1. Combine dates and cashews in food processor and process until mixture is crumbly and moist.
2. While mixture is blending, spray eight cups in a muffin tin with cooking spray.
3. Scoop crust mixture into cups and press until even and flat.
4. Using a butter knife, carefully scrape the sides of your crust away from the muffin tin and remove.
5. Spread yogurt evenly across crust, sprinkle with coconut flakes, then top with fruit of choice.
6. Drizzle with honey and top with granola, if desired.
