Vanilla Bean Passion Fruit Tart

I made this tart for my friends New Years party,

not expecting there to be any competition.... 

Then I got to the dessert table to find two beautiful vegan pies 

that my friend made – would you look at that strawberry sculpture action!? 

There was some raw Mexican cacao under there... 

Each pie was simply delicious, and we all celebrated the New Year with a slice of each :)

Happy New Years!
