                      Brazil Nut Tarts Are More Than Just Desserts

                      Published by Grace O

                      Detox icon

                      These tarts, with their hint of lime and rich texture, take Brazil nuts to a new level. Brazil nuts are full of detoxifying selenium and protein, as well as hearty-healthy omega-3s, which help to keep your skin elastic and hydrated and help to reduce swelling and redness. I like to make several small tarts from this recipe, but you can make large tarts if you prefer.

                      SERVES 4-8

                      Ingredients

                      2 (9-in.) whole-wheat pie crusts
                      1 can (12 oz.) fat-free evaporated milk
                      2 Tbs. tapioca flour diluted in 4 Tbsp. water
                      2 beaten large eggs
                      2 Tbs. coconut butter
                      2 Tbs. lime juice (about 1 lime)
                      1 tsp. lime zest
                      1/2 cup organic sugar or xylitol
                      1 cup toasted and finely chopped Brazil nuts

                      Procedure
                      1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
                      2. Line four 5-inch tart shells with the pie crusts. Poke the crusts with a fork and bake until just beginning to brown, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.

                      3. In a bowl, combine the evaporated milk, diluted tapioca flour, and the eggs. Whisk together until smooth.
                      4. Cook the tapioca mixture in a double boiler over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until thick, about 20-25 minutes.
                      5. Add the coconut butter, lime juice, zest, and sugar and continue cooking and stirring for 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the nuts.
                      6. Pour the mixture into the precooked tart shells and bake at 350 degrees until firm and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
