Hey everybody, my name is Tasha and welcome to Heart of Tarts. Today we will be making
a Spongebob Squarepants Tart.
It is going to be in our traditional tart circle, like we make everyday, and it is going to be so Spongebob-tastic.
I hope you are prepared for this recipe, because we are about to get started.
Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F,
then to a food processor we are going to add in 4 pitted dated and 1/2 cup old fashion oats.
Grind those all together until the oats become oats flour and the dates are reduced to little pieces.
Now we are going to add in the rest of our ingredients to make our amazing oatmeal tart crust
that we use every time we make a recipe.
1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 whole cup old fashion oats, 2 tablespoons Earth Balance,
and 1/4 cup water.
Pulse that together until it is just combined, then press it throughout a 9 inch tart pan.
Be sure to get it up onto the sides and have full coverage over the bottom,
else you will have cracks in it and that won't be cute.
Bake it for 15 minutes until it is brown, and while it is cooling we can create our filling.
Today I am using my amazing mango cream filling.
I love this stuff. I would eat it everyday if I could.
You are going to add one whole cup almonds to a food processor. Grind those down to fine crumbs
or even an almond flour if you can.
Then add in the meat of one mango and blend that together until it creates this frothy fluffy amazing mango cream.
Spread that yellow Spongebob filling over your tart crust and then we can decorate.
I have chopped two slices of banana into squares to create his two classic front teeth.
I am going to line up a smile created with raisins then I am going to make Spongebob's eyes.
Take more banana slices, about 6 or 7 per eye so you can have nice big eyes.
His eyes usually look dilated, like he is on some extreme drug.
He looks really bugged out, so you want his eyeballs to be really big.
For his blue iris, we are going to use blueberries.
Because that is the brightest blue color you can really find in nature.
So that is what we are going with, and then for his pupils, I am going to use raisins.
Just dot the raisin in the middle of about four blueberries and then you have his huge dilated eyes.
Next, I am going to take a little sliver of mango that I just saved over and lay it right in the center
of his face and overlap it over his eye to create some type of dimension.
That says, this is Spongebob's noise.
Is is reading that to you? I really hope so. Because I can see it, can you see it.
Lastly, Spongebob has beautiful eyelashes. He only has three per eye so take raisins,
the longest raisin you have in your pack, and place them across his eye ball.
Just attach them right to the banana, evenly spaced straight across, and you have eyelashes on each eye.
And there you have it, a simple whole fruit Spongebob Tart
that you can make for your kids or yourself or just any Spongebob cartoon fanatic.
And, eat it and enjoy it, because it taste like mango and it is so lovely. Bye.
