For the month of December we are celebrating birthdays for our John L. Scott Bothell and Mukilteo real estate brokers! Our birthday recipe pick this month is this festive white chocolate cranberry tart is so incredibly smooth and creamy, you’re gonna be in heaven. It’s decadent filling is so delicious with no baking required. The perfect dessert to bring to any holiday party.
The cranberries and white chocolate are a perfect combination for this time of year. The cranberry jam is so fresh and fruity with a slight tartness. It works so well with the decadent raw white chocolate filling.
It might look like a lot of work but this tart is deceptively simple and takes less than 30 minutes to prepare. How can you resist that offer?
On top of that this tart is raw, dairy-free, refined sugar-free and gluten-free. It’s crust is made with oats, almonds, coconut oil and maple syrup. The filling is a mix of cashews, coconut milk, vegan white chocolate chips, maple syrup and coconut oil. To make it look more festive way I coated cranberries with maple syrup and granulated monk fruit sweetener. Aren’t they pretty?
In case you were wondering how to prepare these gorgeous looking cranberries…
I’ve Left The Secret For You Here
In a medium sized saucepan add water, maple syrup and cranberries. Simmer over low-medium heat for about 10-15 minutes until there is no liquid left and cranberries are fully coated with maple syrup. It will appear very stick, similar to caramel sugar.
Transfer onto a cooling rack and let them sit for about 1-2 minutes. Then place them in a bowl or onto a plate filled with either monk fruit sweetener or granulated sugars. Coat them well and transfer back onto a cooling rack. Let them dry until maple has hardened and sugar is stuck to the cranberries.

Ingredients
crust
1 1/2 cups gluten-free oats
1/2 cup almonds
5 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
2 tbsp maple syrup
cranberry layer
2 cups cranberries (fresh or frozen)
1 cup water
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tsp agar agar
white chocolate layer
⅔ cup coconut milk
⅓ cup cashew pulp (optional)
1 cup cashews (soaked*)
¾ cup cacao butter
¼ cup maple syrup
Pinch of salt
Optional: 4 tbsp vegan white chocolate
Instructions
For the crust add oats and almonds into a food processor. Pulse until combined and add maple syrup and coconut oil. Process into a moist mixture. Firmly press dough into the tart and press up on the sides as well. Bake at 350F for about 10-15 minutes until crust appears golden brown. Let sit for about 5-10 minutes and then transfer onto a cooling rack.
In a small saucepan add cranberries, water and maple syrup. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes over low-medium heat until cranberries have broken down. With a hand mixer puree cranberries and add a little bit of water if sauce is too thick. Add 1 tsp of agar agar powder and simmer for another 5 minutes over low-medium heat. Set aside to cool for a couple minutes, then spread cranberry jam/sauce into the crust (½ way full) and let set in the fridge for another 15 minutes.
In the meantime prepare the white chocolate layer. Melt white chocolate and cacao butter in a small saucepan over low heat and set aside.
In a food processor or high speed blender add cashews, maple syrup, coconut milk and cashew pulp. Process until completely smooth. Add melted chocolate/cacao butter and process until combined. Pour white chocolate mixture into the tart and let set in the refrigerator for about 2-3 hours. Garnish with cranberries and white chocolate chips and serve immediately. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
*soak cashews in water overnight or for at least 3-4 hours.
