INGREDIENTS NEEDED: 

Nut crust

  • 1 1/2 cups almonds, soaked for 4-6 hours
  • 1/2 cup of shredded coconut
  • 1/3 cup of organic, cold pressed coconut oil
  • 5-6 fresh dates, pitted
  • Pinch of Himalayan salt

Chocolate filling

  • 1/2 cup of cacao powder
  • 1/4 cup of maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup of coconut butter or oil
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Toppings: 

  • Coconut flakes
  • Fresh berries
  • A dusting of cinnamon or cacao powder

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Combine all 5 ingredients of the nut crust in a food processor. Scoop out the crust with a spoon and place mixture evenly inside a small fluted cake tin with a removable base (around 20 inch). Press down and place in the freezer while you prepare the chocolate filling.

2. You will need to melt the coconut oil, if it is not already melted. Once the coconut oil is melted, incorporate the cacao powder, maple syrup and cinnamon.

3. Take the tart crust out of the freezer, and pour the filling into each tart. Once the tarts are filled with the chocolate, store the fridge for up to an hour ( keep them in fridge until you serve).

4. Top your tart with desired toppings, serve, and enjoy!
