Ingredients
-
Crust:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
¼ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
2 tbsp orange juice
2 tbsp brown sugar
---
Filling:
2 ½ cups chopped fresh or thawed frozen strawberries
¾ cup 100% fruit strawberry jam
2 tbsp icing sugar
2 tbsp cornstarch
---
Meringue:
2 egg whites (or ¼ cup pasteurized egg whites if making for children / elderly)
¼ tsp cream of tartar
1/8 tsp salt
1/3 cup sugar
Directions
---Crust:---
Preheat the oven to 375°F and line 12 muffin cups with foil liners.
In a bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs, flaxseed, coconut and cocoa powder.
Stir together the coconut oil, orange juice and brown sugar in another bowl, then add to the graham crumb mixture and stir until moistened.
Spoon evenly into the muffin liners and press into the bottom and up the sides.
Bake for 7-10 minutes, until firm.
Cool completely, then chill for at least 45 minutes.
---Filling:---
Combine the strawberries, strawberry jam, icing sugar and cornstarch in a microwave safe bowl.
Microwave for 5 minutes, stirring with a fork after 30 seconds to thoroughly combine.
Spoon into the chilled crusts and refrigerate while preparing the meringue.
---Meringue:---
In a spotlessly clean bowl with an electric mixer, whip egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar while whipping and beat until stiff glossy peaks form, about 8 minutes.
Dollop meringue on top of the strawberry mixture and place under the broiler for 30 seconds-1 minute, until golden. (Alternatively, place tarts into a 325°F oven until set and golden brown, 14 to 16 minutes, or use a kitchen blowtorch to toast the meringue.)
Serve immediately or cover loosely and store in the refrigerator up to 2 days.
