Strawberry Chocolate Pecan Tart

Ever feel like treating yourself to something special? Well you don't have to leave the house and go to a fancy bakery to do so! I felt like I deserved a little special dessert the other night but I  didn't want to have to leave the house to find something without sugar or milk, that was gluten free and would still satisfy my taste buds.  I ended up putting together this little creation  and thought I would share it with you!
First start with the....
Crust:
In a food processor first mix
1 cup of pecans
1/2 cup of sunflower seeds
1/4 cup of ground flax seeds
Then after they have been mixed to a crumble add in
1/3 cup of raisins
2 tbsps of maple syrup
1tsp of vanilla extract
-after mixed form into little tart shapes with your hands....see below

Next is  the....
Chocolate pudding filling
1/2 cup of cashews
1/2 cup  of water
mix till all blended
add a half of avocado
1tsp vanilla extract
1tbsp of maple syrup
1/4 cup  of cocoa powder
-once finished fill tart shells about 3/4 full of filling...see bellow

 Strawberry Jelly from a previous post:
a cup of water in a pot, 2 tbsps of maple syrup and 4-5 frozen strawberries...bring to a boil and boil for 5-10 mins (stirring and chopping strawberries with a spoon when mushy)
then turn off and as water cools add 1 tbsp of slippery elm powder.  Stir in and let sit, stirring every couple mins until it is cooled and thick.
-once cooled add to top of tarts and then freeze for 10-15 mins to let everything set then serve and keep left overs in fridge

Remember that you dont need  company to whip up a little treat, you deserve to treat yourself once in awhile and please try not to eat your feelings whenever your feeling down!
