Ingredients
Crust
- 1 cup unsalted macadamia nuts
- 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tbsp hemp seeds
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
Pie
- 4 cups raw sweet cherries de-stemmed & pitted
- 14 ounces coconut milk full-fat, well-chilled
- 1 tsp pure maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- cacao nibs optional, for garnish
Instructions
Make the crust
- Place macadamia nuts, cocoa powder, shredded coconut, hemp hearts, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and sea salt in a food processor bowl, and process until nuts are finely chopped and the mixture is well combined.
- Divide the crust mixture evenly, and press into 4 individual mini pie/tart dishes. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to be filled.
Prep the cherries & make the whipped cream
- Wash the cherries, discard stems, and remove the pits with a cherry pitter.
- Separate coconut liquid from thick coconut cream, and place the thick cream in a chilled mixing bowl.* Using a hand mixer, whip coconut cream, ~5-8 minutes, until it is the consistency of whipped cream, then mix in vanilla extract and remaining 1 teaspoon of maple syrup.
Assemble the individual cherry pies
- Remove the crusts from the refrigerator, divide the cherries into 4 equal servings, and place on top of the crusts. Top each tart with 1-2 tablespoons whipped coconut cream, and sprinkle optional cacao nibs on top. Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
Notes
Coconut Whipped Cream Note: The amount of coconut whipped cream you end up with depends upon how much thick coconut cream is in your can. My can had very little, so I ended up with ~ 6 tablespoons total. If you end up with more coconut whipped cream, save it in the fridge to enjoy on top of something else, or top your mini pies with a little bit more!
