METHOD
For lemon tart
Pre-heat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius
Place the coconut, dates and water in a food processor and blend until smooth.
Press coconut mixture into greased tart cases and bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until dry.
Place the butter, sugar and lemon juice in a bowl over a double boiler and whisk the mixture until the sugar has dissolved.
Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk them and slowly add to the lemon mixture. Continue to whisk until the lemon mixture thickens. The mixture needs to be able to coat the back of a spoon.

In a food processer, add the frozen berries, raw honey, lemon zest, lemon juice and water.

Serve immediately or transfer to air tight containers and freeze for a harder consistency.
