Berry Fruit Tarts With Chia Seeds

These vegan tarts are all fruit and the crust is nut-free, made from only dried dates, raisins and figs. The filling is banana cream and obviously the topping is simply sliced strawberries and kiwi. I added chia to the banana cream because chia is a rock star (or should I say... RAW star? Eh? Eh!? Alright fine, I won't).

These are absolutely bursting with color, flavor, and life. I ate two of them all by myself while photographing. I've got a tough life, what can I say? Go ahead and use whatever fresh fruits you have, and top these off with little goodies like cacao, goji berries, or coconut flakes. They are best enjoyed in the sunshine, with your friends, family, and animal buddies.
