Chocolate Raspberry Tart

by Alissa Segersten, Contributing Author

This decadent vegan tart can be made with any berry, but I especially like the combination of tart raspberries and sweet chocolate. The tart is best served the day it’s made. You can also use a smaller tart pan (an 8-inch works well) and halve the ingredients. Be sure to use the full fat coconut milk that comes in a can.

Recipe from The Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook.

Chocolate Raspberry Tart

About 10 servings

INGREDIENTS

Crust

  • 3 cups hazelnut meal
  • ¾ cup arrowroot powder
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold coconut oil
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons cold water

Filling

  • 2 cups raw cashews, soaked for 3 hours
  • ½ cup raw cacao powder
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 pint fresh raspberries
METHOD
  1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease an 11-inch round tart pan with coconut oil.
  2. Place the hazelnut meal, arrowroot powder, coconut sugar, and sea salt into a bowl and mix together. Add the coconut oil and mix it in using your fingers or a pastry cutter until fine crumbs form. Then add the water and stir together with a wooden spoon until mixture forms a ball. Press dough into the bottom and up the sides of the tart pan. Bake for about 25 minutes. Then remove from oven and cool completely. I like to put it into the refrigerator to speed up the cooling process.
  3. To make the filling, place the cashews into a bowl of water and let soak for about 3 hours. Then drain and rinse. Place soaked cashews into a high-powered blender. Add the cacao powder, maple syrup, coconut milk, and vanilla. Blend until super smooth, adding more coconut milk by the tablespoon if needed.
  4. Pour chocolate filling into cooled crust and chill for 2 hours.
  5. Pop tart out of the pan by pushing it up from the bottom. Place onto a serving platter. Decorate the top with the raspberries. Serve.
