Preparation
Crust
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 the pieces using a tart ring and assemble.
Then cut out the strips.
Lift the strips and place them on the inside of each tart ring.
Bake at 180°C for 15-18 minutes.
Allow to cool completely.
Filling
Place chopped chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl.
Heat the coconut whipping cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to gently simmer.
Pour over chocolate, then let it sit for 2-3 minutes to gently soften the chocolate.
Stir with a spatula until completely combined.
Assembly
Fill crust with chocolate ganache and refrigerate until set, about 3 to 4 hours.
Garnish tartlets with fresh cherries and chocolate.
