Ingredients:

Crust:

  • 1 cup pitted dates, tightly packed
  • 2/3 cup sustainable palm shortening
  • 1 1/2 cups arrowroot powder
  • 1/4 cup maple sugar

Filling:

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh-squeezed Meyer lemon juice, orange juice, or Key lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric, achiote, spirulina, or chlorella (optional for color)
  • 3 teaspoons grass-fed gelatin
  • 1/2 cup sustainable palm shortening
  • 1/2 cup maple sugar
  • 1/2 cup fresh-squeezed orange juice (or lemon or Key lime juice)
  • 1/4 cup arrowroot powder

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a food processor, pulse the dates until small granules form. Add the shortening, arrowroot powder, and maple sugar, and pulse until combined into a crumbly mixture. Add more arrowroot powder if the mixture is too sticky.
  3. Press the date mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan, ensuring it’s distributed evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Allow the crust to cool to room temperature.
  4. Meanwhile, make the filling. Mix the turmeric (or other colorant) into the citrus juice and sprinkle the gelatin on top. Let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes to bloom.
  5. In a saucepan, heat the shortening and maple sugar on low, stirring to dissolve the sugar completely. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before adding the citrus juice and gelatin mixture.
  6. Return the saucepan to low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is lukewarm and all ingredients are dissolved. Be careful not to overheat.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice and arrowroot powder until dissolved. Add this mixture to the saucepan and continue stirring over low heat until the filling begins to thicken (about 5 minutes). Do not overcook.
  8. Once thickened, pour the filling into the cooled tart crust. Allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to set.
