Why You Should Eat More Pears
Sometimes it seems like apples get all the love. Don’t you think?
But sweet, juicy pears deserve a spot in your kitchen too, not only for their nutritional status {microbiome friendly fiber, vitamin C, potassium, & phytonutrients-especially when you leave the gorgeous skin on!}, but also because they taste delicious too!
And, if you need another reason to make this No Bake Pear Tart, it’s absolutely perfect if you live in a warmer climate like I do, and there’s nary a drop of crisp, cool, fall weather in sight, BUT, you’re still craving fall flavors, this No Bake Pear Tart is the bomb!
Tips on How to Make the Most Delicious Pear Tart
Save time by making the cashew coconut cream and pear tart crust ahead of time. Store them both in the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble your pear tarts.
Choose the juiciest, most delicious pears you can find. I like this pear tart with softer pears, like Bartlett or Comice, but choose whatever pears you love. USA Pears has a great website with information on pear varieties, nutrition, and recipes.
It’s SO Easy to Assemble this Pear Tart! {Maybe for Breakfast Tomorrow???}
Press the crust in a ramekin or individual tart pan.
Spread the Coconut Cashew Cream on top.
Slice your pears, and layer them on the tart crust/coconut cream.

Combine cashew nuts, coconut milk, and maple syrup in a high speed blender, and blend until smooth, scraping sides of blender as needed.This may take several minutes to achieve the consistency you want.
While the cashew cream is blending, combine all the spices in a small bowl and set aside.
Next, prepare the tart crust by combining the walnuts, pecans, 4 tablespoons {or to taste} of maple syrup, coconut oil, 3 teaspoons chai spice mixture, and pinch of salt in a food processor.
Pulse mixture to combine all ingredients until nuts are very finely chopped, and mixture sticks together. Divide tart mixture in to 4 equal servings, and press in to 4 5-inch diameter tart pans.
To assemble the pear tarts: Divide cashew cream in to four servings and spread a thin layer on top of each tart crust. Divide sliced pears in to four servings and layer on top of tarts. Sprinkle remaining chai spice mixture on top of tarts to garnish. Serve immediately, or chill before serving.
