This tart is an adaptation of Martha Stewart’s tart. My friend made it and brought it to my house one Saturday night. We loved it.
But you know me…I had to healthify it in order to enjoy.:)
The best part besides being healthy, it is easy. You literally only need to throw everything in a food processor and blend.:) No dough rising or using a ton of bowls.
I roasted the almonds and found I liked it better this way. In order to dull the taste of avocado I added extra cocoa powder.
The tart came out rich, sweet enough and filling. It is not supposed to be high or fluffy. It’s a tart.
I do not own a removable bottom tart pan, so I just used the cheesecake one. I should buy one to have that nice edge for the photos.:)
I served it with a little bit of whipped Truwhip. It is a healthy whipped topping. Find a store near you here.
