Preparation

Step 1

To make the crust:
Pulse the oats in a food processor until they turn into a powdery mix.
Add the dates and process until it all starts to stick together. Add more dates if it’s still too crumbly.
Press into the bottoms and sides of tart tins and put in the fridge.

To make the caramel:
Blend everything until smooth. Add a little bit of water if it’s too thick.
Spread half of this mixture into the bottom of your tart crusts – leave the other half in the blender – then put the tarts back in the fridge.

To make the chocolate Cream:
Add the tahini and cacao to the remaining caramel in your blender. Blend until fully combined, adding water if it’s too thick.
Spread the chocolate onto your tarts, sprinkle with sesame seeds and enjoy!
