Directions:
To make the tart bases, place the nuts, Barlean’s Forti-Flax, and melted Barlean’s Coconut Oil into a food processor, and blend into a firm dough. Use the dough, instead of pastry, to line the the indentations of a jam tart tray. Line them with about ½ cm thick lining of the dough. Place the tray in the refrigerator until the bases set.
To make the filling, mix the dissolved agar into the Barlean’s Lemon Zest Omega Swirl, and mix thoroughly. Pour the mix into the set tart bases, then return the tray to the fridge for 1-2 hours. When the tarts are removed from the fridge, they will have a firm crust, with a thick jammy filling, will be raw, packed to the hilt with Omega-3 fatty acids, and most importantly will taste divine!
