Heart of Tarts's video: Dragonfly Decorated Tart Recipe

The dragonfly, yes the bug, is the cutest insect I know. They do not bite, sting, or annoy people all too much. Plus, dragonfly's have the prettiest colors, so we had to decorate a tart with one.

To make the crust, pulverize old fashion oats, dates, salt, and nutmeg to a flour using a food processor. Add in water and coconut oil to the food processor and pulse to combine. Pulse and press the crust mixture into a 9 inch tart pan. Bake for 10-15 minutes until brown and dry. For the filling, puree the flesh of the avocado, banana, and vanilla extract in the food processor. Spread it evenly over a cooled tart crust. Make your Dragon Fly topping by lining up the grapes in a curved line. Make the wings of the dragon fly by cutting long diagonal strips from a banana. Place them, 2 on each side, on the upper-midsection of the grape train. The skinniest part should be touching the grapes with the rest of the slice extended as wings. For the eyes of the dragonfly, cut a raisin in half and place them on the top of the first/head grape. The gooey center of the grape should act as a self adhesive. Cute 4 thin strips of apple peel and place them in the center of each banana wing for added color. My dragonfly is done and she is so cute.
