PALEO RED WHITE AND BLUE COCONUT TARTS

OK so my tarts came out a little more like pink, white and purplish than red, white and blue...but you get the point! These are a nice treat to serve for a party or to keep in the freezer when you want a fruity coconut treat.
There are a lot of variations you can make on these tarts. You can substitute raspberries for the strawberries or substitute blackberries for the blueberries. You can also substitute pears, pineapple, lemon juice or white peaches for the banana. You even add nuts or juices if you like. Or you can throw out the whole red, white and blue idea altogether and just mix in your favorite fruits. See what I mean? So many ways to experiment with flavors you like!

Ingredients:
- 1 cup coconut cream concentrate

Directions:
1. Place the coconut cream concentrate and the raw honey in a small saucepan over medium heat and allow to melt (about 2-3 minutes), stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
2. Add 1/3 of the coconut cream mixture to the food processor and add the blueberries and lemon juice. Blend until well mixed, then spoon equally into the bottom of 6 silicon baking cups.
3. Rinse the food processor and then add half of the remaining coconut cream mixture. Add the banana and blend until well mixed. Spoon equally over the blueberry layer in the baking cups.
