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.
Grab a friend to share with, a fork to eat with, and dig in!
No Bake Pear Tart Recipe with Chai Spices and Coconut Cashew Cream
You’ll love this easy, no bake pear tart recipe made from nourishing whole food ingredients. The no-bake crust with chai spices, and cashew coconut cream are easy to make ahead of time. Just top with sweet, juicy pear slices, and you have a healthy AND delicious treat for dessert or breakfast!
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.

I have been working on dropping some extra pounds (I guess when you are almost 30 you can’t eat the same as you did when you were in your early 20’s? Who knew!) and have mostly been eating all fresh fruits and veggies with nuts and beans for protein. From time to time I want a dessert and just an apple won’t cut it. This will be perfect!
I’m in love with chai spices! As I’ve said, I’m not ready for fall yet, but I’m ready for those fall spices!! Think I’ll make the crust just to eat it! I gotta try making coconut cream w/ cashews too!
Wow! This is one exciting no-bake dessert! You’re so creative!! I love anything chai-spiced. I’m especially intrigued by the cashew cream as I’ve never tried anything like it. Can’t wait to make this soon..by soon I mean this weekend! Hope you have a wonderful week! Btw, are you going to be at FNCE? If so, I’d LOVE to meet you!! 😉
yum~ i love your fall flavors of pears and chai. (though i’ve never been brave enough to make a cashew cream) these look delicious… i still wish we were neighbors.
Gorgeous photos as always and such a creative raw dessert (and thank goodness you aren’t a dietitian that doesn’t do dessert.) Ahh, I’m such a summer girl, so I’m usually slightly depressed come fall time but I do love me some apple cider, butternut squash and all the warming spices like these. And college football!
This was my first Recipe ReDux Challenge and I love to see others using fresh, seasonal fruit! I made a similar raw pear treat for my no bake dessert, except I stuffed my pears with almond butter, pecans, and spices. Your tart looks so tasty!
Yum!! These look so tasty and I love that they’re individually portioned!
What a great idea! I wouldnt have thought of using pears for this- cant wait to try it!
Love pears and this sounds wonderful!
These flavours are amazing!
It’s so hot here in LA, as you know, so I just love when the temps turn cooler in the fall.
Sweaters and boots for me!
I love to see the leaves turn a beautiful color or red gold yellow. So lovely.
