Healthy Chocolate Tart

Nov 11, 2020

In addition to being super easy, it’s also healthier than your traditional chocolate tart while also being gluten-free, grain-free, fully plant based/vegan and paleo-friendly.

Really simple,clean, healthy chocolate tart recipe to whip up for a last minute post-dinner treat or lazy Sunday cooking session.

Ingredients

5 cup mixed nuts
1 cup dates, pitted
2 heaped tbsp cacao powder (If using cocoa powder add a touch more)
Chocolate filling:
200g Chocolateeha chocolate (or any dark chocolate)
200ml oat cream (I have used Oatly Single cream)
Toppings:
London Apron meringues
Load of berries, fresh mint leaves and crushed nuts
Start by placing your nuts into a food processor and pulse a few times until they are coarsely ground, then add the pitted dates and cacao.
Blend until the mixture starts coming together and if needed, add a splash of water.
Spoon the mixture evenly into your tart tin lined with cling film. Make sure you press it tightly onto the base and into the edges to form a crust (wet your fingers a bit, it does help a lot).
Pop in the fridge for an hour to firm up.
Next, make the beautiful chocolate filling by heating the oat cream in a small pan until it comes to the boil. Take off the heat, add in the chocolate and stir until completely melted.
Let it cool down for a couple of minutes before carefully pouring evenly into the tart crust; Jiggle the tart pan gently to help flatten it out.
Pop back in the fridge to set for an hour, but preferably two.
Gently remove the tart from the tart tin, decorate with fresh berries, crushed nuts and fresh mint leaves before serving.
If you have a bit of oat cream left, pour some over.
Enjoy!
