While preparing the tart, I was afraid it would be bland or like a fruit salad at best. The tart was delicious, easy, fast, beautiful, and did I mention DELICIOUS!!! The crust holds together surprisingly well and tastes dreamy. Next time, I may include some coconut with the dried mangoes and see how that goes. Thanks for the yummy recipe. I will definately use this while entertaining.

A fantastic recipe! I made a couple of changes. I used half almonds, half pecans for the base and used a dried fruit mix instead of mango. I also increased the amount of dried fruit to firm up the filling. I topped it off with some strawberries, bananas and blueberries. Super yummy!!!

Very good! I used pecans instead of almonds and dried apricots instead of dried mangoes. Delicious! Can't wait to make it again, Thanks.

A huge hit!!! I took this to a church function and many were happy to have a healthy & diabetic dessert! I also doubled the filling (a must). I used dried apricots and it was great. Thx for a vegan dessert keeper!!

Absolutely amazing!!! I can't say enough good things about this! I made it for my son's birthday party, using pecans instead of almonds and leaving out the salt. It was so so good! Whether you are on a raw diet or not, eat sugar or not, I highly reccommend and will be making again and again!<br/>Edited to add: I have made this again and again, anytime I have the oppertunity to do so. My 2 and 3 year olds LOVE it and I get cravings for it. YUM!
