Ingredients
  

For the Tart Crust
  • 1 cup Sunflower Seeds Replace with almonds or hazelnuts for a nutty twist
  • 1/2 cup Pumpkin Seeds Consider increasing sunflower seeds for a more robust crust
  • 1 cup Dates Figs or dried apricots can be used as substitutes if allergic to dates
  • 1/4 cup Cacao Powder Carob powder can be an alternative
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Omit if desired, but it adds a lovely warmth
  • 1 tablespoon Orange Zest Swap for lemon zest for a subtler touch
For the Ganache Filling
  • 1 cup Vegan Creme Fraiche Any vegan cream can serve as a substitute

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Blend sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, dates, cacao powder, cinnamon, and orange zest in a food processor until crumbly yet holds together when pressed—about 30 seconds. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if you want a firmer crust.
  2. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of tart tins. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, watching for a lightly golden color, or refrigerate if using the no-bake option.
  3. Prepare the ganache by blending vegan crème fraiche, cacao powder, rapadura sugar, and remaining orange zest until smooth and creamy—about 2 minutes.
  4. Fill each tart shell generously with the ganache filling and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours until the ganache is firm.
  5. Optionally sprinkle edible gold dust on top or add fresh fruit or coconut whipped cream before serving.
