Chocolate Tarts
Ingredients
- 2 cups ground almonds or ground hazelnuts
- 1/3 cup cacao
- 3.5 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 2 tbsp (or more, to taste) maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla paste
- pinch salt
- splash coconut milk (add as much as you need)
- for the filling -
- 300g dark chocolate, very finely chopped
- optional but recommended: chia jam to smooth on tart base (i actually used @d8_made sour cherry date butter - so good!)
- fresh berries, to top
Preparation
Start by making your base
Stir together all ingredients until combined and the mixture sticks together
Add a splash of coconut milk if needed (1 tbsp at a time) until a workable dough is formed
Note, you don't want a sticky dough!
Press the mixture into the base of mini tart tins, then place in the fridge to set for an hour
Once set, if using the chia jam, add a tablespoon to the base of each tart
Gently heat the plant cream until warm, but not boiling (this can cause your mixture to split)
Remove from the heat, then add in the dark chocolate and stir constantly until the mixture has completely melted
Pour over the top of your base, then allow to cool and set
Serve topped with fresh berries
