Ingredients
Filling:
- 15 Coachella’s Best Organic Medjool Dates (You can buy these in bulk here!)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- A handful of crushed pecans
Crust:

- 1 egg
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter (room temperature)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp salt
Tools:
- Mixer & Mixing Bowl
- 14 x 4.5 inch Tart Mold
Directions

- Mix until the Organic Medjool Dates are soft
- Add the cinnamon and pecans into the mixing bowl and continue mixing until you have a paste-like consistency
- Remove the crust from the fridge and, using a fork, poke holes throughout the crust (this allows the steam to escape preventing pockets and bubbles from forming in the crust)
- Press the filling mixture into your tart mold on top of the crust
- Place the tart into the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown
- Remove from the oven, let cool, and decorate with Dates, whole pecans, and rose petals
