Preparation
To make the crust, add the cashews, oat-flakes and salt to your food processor and blitz for a couple of minutes until the ingredients form a light crumb consistency.
Add the cashews butter, dates and coconut oil and blitz again until the mixture sticks together when you press it between your fingers.
Take a 9” cake tin with removable base and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Using a spatula, press the dough into the base and sides of the tin (working approximately 2 inches up the edges).
Ensure that the dough is firmly packed by pressing down on it with the surface of a smooth glass.
To prepare the filling, add the yoghurt, cacao butter, maple syrup and vanilla bean paste to your high speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl mix the agar-agar and almond milk together to form a paste.
Add the paste to the saucepan with the other ingredients and bring to a boil, whisking continuously.
Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes while stirring continuously.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow to cool for about 5 minutes before pouring it into the tart shell.
Allow to cool for another 10-15 minutes and then transfer the tart to the fridge to set for at least 4 hours
After the tart has set, arrange fresh strawberries on top
Melt the white chocolate and drizzle over the tart
Dust with freeze-dried strawberry powder
