Gluten-Free Chocolate Tart
Tart crust
- 2 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup vegan butter or coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Tart filling
- 1 can full fat coconut milk
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Optional toppings: shredded coconut, fresh raspberries, shaved chocolate, chopped pistachios
Directions
- Begin by preheating the oven to 350ºF and lightly grease a 9-inch tart dish with spray oil or vegan butter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the tart crust ingredients.
- Then, press the tart crust into the tart dish. See the image below.
4. Place the crust in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
5. Once baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool.
6. Then, in a double-boiler (pot of boiling water topped with a glass bowl), melt together the chocolate and coconut milk. Be careful not to get a drop of water in the bowl, this can cause the chocolate to seize up.
7. Stir occasionally with a whisk until fully melted, about 10 minutes.
8. Once fully combined, stir in the salt and vanilla extract.
9. Carefully pour the chocolate into the tart crust.
10. Place the tart in the refrigerator and chill for 3-4 hours.
11. Once the tart has chilled, top with optional toppings, serve, and enjoy!
12. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
