Gluten-Free Coconut And Turmeric Tart

Looking for a Gluten-free tart recipe? This one might be something different to try + turmeric has so many benefits for your health which makes this a healthy tart recipe to try. 😉

Turmeric helps with inflammation and boosts your immune system plus so much more. There’s no reason not to include it in your diet or even use it on your face as a face mask (which I do).

This recipe makes 1 x 20 cm tart.
