Method
Grease a 25cm loose bottom pie tin.
To make the crust, add the pecans to your food processor or high-speed blender and whizz until crumbly.
Add in the rest of the crust ingredients, and blitz again until everything comes together.
With your hands, press the mixture onto the bottom and sides of your pie tin.
Wash out your mixer and add in the filling ingredients. Blitz until smooth and creamy – it will be a few minutes before all the dates are thoroughly blended in.
Dollop the filling onto the base and smooth it out.
To toast the nuts, add the pecans to a small pan and heat to medium. Dry toast until the pecans are a little toasted.
Turn off the heat and tip into a bowl. Now add the maple syrup and sea salt. Stir to combine.
When the nuts have cooled down, top the tart with the toasted nuts.
Transfer to the fridge for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Store in the fridge until it’s time to eat.
