The recipe is versatile in how you want to decorate it or add flavouring – orange, strawberry, raspberry, pistachio, hazelnut…there are so many delicious things that pair well with chocolate; sky’s the limit! Experiment and let us know what flavour combinations you come up with or enjoy the tart as it is, in all it’s chocolate glory. Either way, hope you enjoy this delicious recipe. Let us your thoughts in the comments below.
Let’s start with the ingredients:
1 cup raw almonds/cashews (try other nuts, a macadamia nut base would take this tart to the next level!)
2 cups finely desiccated coconut
8 Medjool dates, seeds removed (or about 10-15 regular dried dates, soaked for a bit in boiling water)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of salt
Place all the ingredients in a food processor or blender. Combine at high speed until the mixture comes together. Depending on the speed of your blender, you may need to add extra dates or coconut oil.
Press the base into a 28cm round spring form pan or baking dish (you can line the base with baking paper so it’s easy to remove). Place the base into the freezer to set.
2 cups melted dark chocolate
3 ripe medium sized avocados, skin and stone removed
3 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (or to taste)
1/3 cup coconut milk
4 tablespoons coconut oil, solid
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Combine all ingredients and blend until well combined.
Spread the chocolate filling over the base and return to the fridge for 1 hour or until set. You can decorate the tart before it sets or after.
