We've teamed up with The Tigernut Company to bring you this amazing low sugar Festive Orange Curd Tart Recipe! 🍋
Tiger nuts are insanely nutritious, containing:
💚 More calcium than liver
💚 As much iron as red meat
💚 High amounts of vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and fibre (helping to feed your gut flora and boost gut health!)
Tiger Nuts are suitable for anyone following a paleo, low FODMAP, vegan, gluten free, AIP, plant-based, or whole food diet!
We love The Tiger Nut Company because they care about:
🥜 The environment and the planet
🥜 Health, and healthy eating

Method
-
1. Mix together tiger nut flour, tapioca, a teaspoon of cinnamon or spices and salt. Melt and add the coconut oil, and mix until it starts to form a ball, add a little water or tiger nut milk as needed. Don’t over work.
2. Simply press into a a large cake tin with removable base, or if you want smaller tarts use muffin pan or small silicon moulds.
3. Prick the base and bake in an oven until brown, around 10 -12 minutes at 160C. 4. Set aside & allow to cool while you prepare the curd. 5. Add all of the curd ingredients to a pan and heat gently stirring all the time until it thickens. Depending on how thick the coconut cream is you may need to add more cornstarch. 6. When ready taste and adjust spice or sweetness if necessary. Then pour the mixture into the tarts and leave to cool. 7. When cool enough place in the fridge for an hour to firm up. 8. Decorate! The tarts are delicious and will keep in the fridge for 5-7 days if you haven’t eaten them all before then!
