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.

July 9, 2017 at 4:17 am Unfortunately for us, raspberries don't last long. They disappear off the table rather quickly so no need to freeze them, lol. My dream is to have like 3 dozen raspberry bushes on our property so we won't have to fight over our favorite berries.Hope Pearce
July 10, 2017 at 1:50 pm Hi Anya! Yes raspberries are our favourite berry too, having 3 dozen raspberry bushes on your property would be superb!Raw Raspberry Tartlets - Yum Goggle

November 11, 2017 at 2:32 am Do you thaw the raspberries or put them in food processor frozen?Hope Pearce
November 11, 2017 at 9:40 am Hi Ali, you put the raspberries in the food processor frozen, they will soften up while blitzing.ana
July 7, 2018 at 10:41 am Hello. I was wondering how you arrived at the nutrition stats you posted here. I've calculated it twice on cronometer. com based on your stated "serves 11 tarlets" and have arrived at the following: 350 cals each 27 g fat 26 g carb 5 g protein which makes each 29% carb/ 5% protein/ 66% fat. Thank you.Hope Pearce
July 10, 2018 at 1:29 pm Hi Ana, thanks for pointing that out! I have looked into it and the nutrition calculator was reading one of the ingredients wrong so I have amended it. The nutrition calculator in the recipe card automatically calculates the end nutrition stats based on the ingredients listed, i.e it is not manually entered by me. There is still a slight variation between what you have listed as there is between all online nutrition calculators. ESHA which is the nutrition software in our recipe cards use 1,700 sources (same as their nutrition software for dietitians, hospitals and food manufacturers) to get their stats as opposed to many online calculators which get theirs from 1-3 sources, so we are aiming for the closest match possible. Thanks, Hope :)Tara
December 20, 2018 at 8:12 am So so good i made one large one just tripled tge filling was absolutely deliciousHope Pearce
December 21, 2018 at 2:49 pm Thanks Tara, I'm so pleased you liked it! :)Tegan
February 2, 2019 at 9:59 pm Hi. We've just made a batch of these for my daughter's minnie mouse themed birthday. They're beautiful and look naughty but aren't!!! I'm just wondering if the filling is supposed to set? Ours are quite runnyHope Pearce
February 8, 2019 at 7:15 pm Hi Tegan, thank you! Apologies for the delay, hmmm, yes they should be quite set and the raspberry centre should be soft, but not runny. Is it hot where you are at the moment? Maybe try leaving them in the fridge for longer to set or popping them in the freezer for 15 min :)Marian
March 3, 2019 at 8:30 pm Made that for friends last night - everyone loved them! I did have a little trouble with the method - when I poured the melted coconut oil in with frozen raspberries it immediately solidified and stuck to the bottom and sides of the food processor. I can't see how this could have gone any differently? I had to scrape and chip it off but definitely didn't get it all, which might be why it didn't set properly. It was a bit fiddly putting the base into the moulds so all in all it took quite a bit longer than 20 minutes! But did turn out delicious nonetheless!Hope Pearce
March 5, 2019 at 1:46 pm Hi Marian, thanks for your feedback! I'm sorry you had problems with the mixture solidifying, I realised that the instructions should say that the coconut oil should be melted and left at room temperature before using. That should stop the mixture solidifying. I usually make these in warmer weather so I don't have any need to melt the coconut oil so I missed putting that extra info in the recipe card. I'm glad you enjoyed the end result, Hope :)Elvina
July 9, 2020 at 11:04 am I think step 2 should say base not filling, just an FYI.Hope Pearce
July 11, 2020 at 12:02 pm I had never noticed that, you are quite right! Thanks for picking up on that, I have changed it :)
