  3. Step 3

    Place almonds, pistachios, shredded coconut and salt in a food processor. Process until finely chopped. Add dates. Process until very finely chopped and mixture holds together when pinched. Spoon mixture evenly among prepared tins. Use the back of the spoon to press mixture evenly over base and side of each tin. Place in the freezer to set.

  4. Step 4

    Drain cashews. Place in a blender with the coconut cream, lemon rind, lemon juice, lime rind, lime juice and 1/4 cup (60ml) of the maple syrup. Blend until mixture is very smooth and creamy. Pour mixture evenly among tart cases in the tins. Gently tap on bench to smooth surfaces. Freeze for 2 hours or until firm.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer the tarts to serving plates. Top with lemon and lime slices, lemon and lime zest and mint. Drizzle with remaining maple syrup. Serve frozen or at room temperature.
