Golden Door Avocado and Cacao Tart

Serves 8-10

Ingredients 
2/3 cup raw almonds
8 fresh medjool dates, pitted
Finley grated zest and juice of 1/2 mandarin

Filling
2 avocados
3 tablespoons cacao powder
3 tablespoons coconut sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil
3-4 drops natural vanilla extract
1 teaspoon maca powder

To serve

Method 
Line a 25 cm spring-form cake tin with cling wrap. To make the base, grind the almonds and dates together in a food processor until well combined, almost to a paste. Add mandarin zest and juice and process until it forms a soft dough. Place mixture into lined tin and press to cover base.

To make the filling, place all filling ingredients in a food processor and blend until silky smooth. Spoon on top of the base and smooth out.

Freeze for 2 hours, then serve with fresh berries.
