Ingredients for the crust:

• 250g gluten free rolled oats
• 100g flaxseed 
• 1 tbsp maple syrup 
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• 15 medium pitted dates

For the filling:

• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 3 large ripe peaches (or 1 can of peaches- just watch the sugar content in some syrups)
• 75 ml maple syrup
• 400 ml coconut milk (full fat)
• 1 tbsp cornstarch 
• 2 tsp agar agar powder

Instructions: 
1) Grease a 23cm loose bottom tin with some olive oil. I use this perforated tin which is great for hot and cold desserts and gets about 8 decent slices!
2) Place oats, and flaxseed in a food processor or table top mixer and mix until coarsely ground. Add maple syrup and coconut oil, then add dates and process all together until the mixture resembles wet sand texture. 
3) Press the mixture into the pan firmly, and ensure all the sides are pressed in too. Put in the fridge to firm up while you make the filling.

Instructions for the filling:

• Peel the papaya and peaches, and cut into smaller pieces. If you can't get hold of fresh ripe peaches you can use drained canned peaches but be careful of the sugar element in the syrup that some cans have. Place them together with the lemon juice in a food processor and blitz until smooth.
• Pour the coconut milk into a medium saucepan, then add papaya and peach puree and maple syrup. Stir together. Add cornstarch and agar agar powder and stir using a wooden spoon or a spatula until both have completely dissolved.
• When it starts to boil, allow to cook for about 1 minute then remove from the heat. 
• Strain the filling mixture into a bowl using a sieve and let it cool for 5 minutes.
• Pour the mixture into the tart base from the fridge and immediately put it back in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours, preferably over night.
• Decorate with all of your favourite fruits and herbs and enjoy!
