If you love raspberries you will love these gluten free tartlets - they are bursting with a beautiful fresh raspberry flavour! They have a wonderful smooth, creamy and intensely raspberry filling which goes perfectly with the nutty cacao base. These raspberry tartlets contain no refined sugar or flour and require no baking! They are a healthy sweet treat that is super tasty and easy to prepare.
Sometimes the mere sight of a raspberry can bring on raspberry cravings for me, and these tarts sure know how to satisfy that craving.
They taste intensely of raspberries! I feel I could just dive head first into that mixture, but that would be getting a little carried away!
Master H was jumping at the sight of these - what toddler wouldn't when looking at that gorgeous fun red colour. I think he thought I was making some kind of red playdough concoction but got even more excited when he realised it was food!
I thought he may turn his nose up at the tart's as they are a little tangy with the raspberry flavour (which if you are a raspberry fan you will love! - I do!) but may be more suitable for more acquired taste buds...but no.... he absolutely loved them!
Raspberries not only taste amazing but they are very nutritious! Read on for their health benefits or skip straight to the recipe below.
Love Food Nourish Nutrition Info
- Raspberries are a fantastic source of phytonutrients and antioxidants.
- They have excellent anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer benefits.
- Raspberries are a excellent source of Vitamin C, fibre and manganese.
- They are a good source of vitamin B5, biotin, copper, vitamin K, vitamin E, folate, magnesium, potassium and omega 3 fats.
A new area of research is looking at the potential for raspberries to manage obesity. Research is in its early stages but has found that a phytonutrient found in raspberries (rheosmin) can help increase metabolism in our fat cells. It is thought that rheosmin can also help decrease pancreatic lipase (an enzyme released by our pancreas) which may result in less digestion and absorption of fat. How cool would that be?
Raspberries do freeze very well and can be kept in the freezer for up to one year. Recent research has shown that the antioxidant properties of organic raspberries is significantly higher than the non organic raspberries, so it does pay to buy organic where you can.
