- 1/4 cup almond meal *28g
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar *35g
- 1/8 cup cocoa powder *14g
- 90g cold coconut oil or dairy free butter
- 1 tbsp cold almond milk *14g

- 200g dark chocolate, coarsely chopped

Preparation
Preheat oven to 180°C.
In a food processor, add crust ingredients and pulse until a dough ball forms.
Refrigerate the dough for at least 10 minutes.
Roll out the chilled dough, cut pieces using a tart ring and assemble.
Cut out strips, lift them and place on the inside of each tart ring.
Bake at 180°C for 15-18 minutes and allow to cool completely.
Place chopped dark chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl.
Heat coconut whipping cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to gently simmer.
Pour over chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to gently soften the chocolate.
Stir with a spatula until completely combined.
Fill crust with chocolate ganache and refrigerate until set for about 3 to 4 hours.
Garnish tartlets with fresh cherries and chocolate.
