Hazelnut Healing Tart

1.Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2.To make the crust, pulse the toasted hazelnuts and rolled oats in a food processor until finely ground but still slightly coarse for texture.

3.Add the melted coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, and sea salt to the nut-oat mixture. Pulse until combined and the mixture holds together when pressed between your fingers.

4.Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface.

5.Bake the crust for 15 minutes until golden and fragrant. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

6.While the crust cools, prepare the healing filling by whisking together Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, turmeric, grated ginger, and lemon juice until smooth and well combined.

7.Stir in the chopped parsley and mint into the yogurt mixture for added freshness and healing properties.

8.Once the crust is cool, spread the yogurt filling evenly over the tart base.

9.Sprinkle the chopped dark chocolate, lemon zest, and chia seeds evenly over the top of the tart for texture, antioxidants, and a bright finish.

10.Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set.

11.Before serving, garnish with a few whole toasted hazelnuts and fresh mint leaves for presentation.

12.Serve chilled as a restorative treat to support healing and recovery.
