Banana Cream Tarts

This recipe started with a 'cooked-version' photo on Pinterest.  Loving bananas and cream and holding fond memories of banana pudding, I set out to make a simple, raw, nutritious delicious snack.  Happy to say, this was a hit.  So much so, I don't have a photo.  Must do over and stop to photograph before devouring.  I made two small tarts, so that is what this recipe is for.   Crust: 1/2 c walnuts, ground 2-3 soaked dates pinch of salt seeds from one vanilla pod Blend in food processor until it is a 'dough', pat into tart tins.  Taste-it should be quite overtly vanilla, like vanilla wafers. Filling: 1/3 c cashews-soaked overnight-will expand to about 1/2 c. juice of 1/2 small lemon pinch of salt 1/2 t vanilla 1-2 dates, or 1T agave syrup (your preference) enough water to create a thick cream I used one ripe banana.  Cut 1/2 of it into 1/4" dice and mixed with the cream.  The other half, slice thinly and place around the edge of the tarts.  Fil
