RAW Caramel mini tarts

My dear vegan friends, we have been through half Veganuary and now Valentine’s day is almost here! This love celebration is a great opportunity to shine with some absolutely amazing vegan, gluten-free dessert. What about raw caramel mini tarts??

When I decided what amazing Valentine’s dessert to make, I couldn’t think about anything better than caramel! Chocolate! Cocoa! This all sounds so amazing to me. What about you?

These caramel tarts are vegan, raw, and gluten-free. They are also free from refined sugar and they are not terribly sweet like some other tarts out there!

You don’t have to worried about burning them. I seriously love raw desserts. Raw tarts, raw doughnuts, raw pies, and raw tarts. This is also probably soemthing you will find the msot on my blog. At least recently. I absolutely fell in love with raw sweet treats!

RELATED:

These caramel tarts contain nuts. Therefore, they are not suitable for people with nut allergies. If you still wish to make these tarts use dates instead of nuts. Tarts will look differently, however, the taste will be sweeter. I recommend not to use any maple syrup, sugar or sweetener. You will be good just with a lot of dates!

If you use nuts, make sure you use their raw version. I used raw walnuts, almond meal from raw almonds and good-quality organic desiccated coconut. Also, I prefer using raw cocoa powder. It gives a great chocolate taste!
