Raw Peach and Fig Tarts, Guest Post by Clover of RealFoodRenegades.com
Today, Clover of RealFoodRenegades.com is sharing a recipe with us! She is a fellow teen food blogger who shares recipes on her site for vibrant, healthy living. And how fantastic are her photography skills?! This girl is a serious inspiration to me every day, and her recipes all look so delicious. I hope you all enjoy these Peach + Fig Tarts!
Enter, Clover…
I’m so excited to be posting on Sadie’s incredible blog today! I am constantly inspired by this girl’s work and passion, and it is an honor to be here.
Today I’m sharing a beautiful end-of-summer treat – Raw Peach and Fig Tarts with Cashew Cream! Perfect for using up the last of this summer’s bounty of peaches and figs, these tarts combine a hint of the approaching fall season with a touch of cinnamon goodness. And what better way to finish off the summer than with a dessert that everyone can eat? These tarts are not only Paleo and grain-free, but vegan, dairy-free, and fruit-sweetened, as well.
Enjoy these pretty little tarts with friends and family, celebrating the start to a new school year (if you’re a teenager, like me!) and giving thanks for a wonderful summer. Happy eating 🙂
