Summer Berries

As the seasons start to change so does the fresh fruits and veggies. Eating seasonally can sometimes be hard when you live in a polar vortex 8 months out of the year, so when the warmer months come around I like to take full advantage. As we roll into May you should be on the lookout for ripe strawberries, cherries, rhubarb, and Saskatoon berries. For this recipe, I used the most delicious and juicy strawberries, but feel free to mix and match all the fresh vegan ingredients you want.

It’s Always Chocolate Season

Rain or shine chocolate is always in season. It’s always there for you, the good times and the bad. When I was putting the finishing touches on the rustic berry tart I knew a few squares of my fave Hu Dark Chocolate would be the perfect addition before throwing it in the oven. Hu Dark Chocolate is not only vegan but also free of:

Dairy GMOs Emulsifiers Soy lecithin Gluten Refined sugar Cane sugars Sugar alcohols

Now that’s something you can feel good about! Another thing to feel good about is this strawberry tart mixed with Hu Dark Chocolate. It compliments the fresh strawberries so well and balances out all the sweetness.

Patio Party

Time to pull out those patio lanterns! This simple rustic vegan berry tart is the perfect last minute dessert for those warm summer nights. Top this tart with fresh mint, drizzle it with my vegan chickpea chocolate sauce, or dust it with some icing sugar. Don’t worry about leaving your guests high and dry while you prepare it, it only takes 5 minutes and all the ingredients can be mixed in one bowl. Time-saver and easy cleanup, your welcome.   While you wait for this baby to bake, take a look through some of my other favorite fresh recipes for summer:
