Healthy Chocolate Tart

A 'healthy' chocolate tart is something we all need in our recipe collection.

This simple, no bake, whole food recipe is very versatile and can be served as a slice or a dessert. Add a tuile, berry coulis and cream for a fine dining inspired dessert or simply cut and serve just as it is.

All you need is a food processor and some time for it to set in the fridge.

Chocolate Tart Base

Ingredients:

• 110g (3.88 oz) almonds, or almond meal
• 80g (2.82 oz) coconut, desiccated or thread
• 25g (0.88 oz) cocoa
• 90g (3.17 oz) pitted dates, soaked or use Medjool dates
• 40g (1.41 oz) honey
• 30g (1 oz) peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• Pinch of salt

Method:

• Place all the ingredients for the base into a food processor and blend together until it resembles a sticky crumb mixture.
• Press into a baking paper lined 20cm slice tin and set aside.

Chocolate Tart Topping

Ingredients:

• 200g (7.05 oz) dark chocolate (I used 50% cocoa here)
• 240g (8.46 oz) peanut butter
• 200g (7.05 oz) honey

Method:

• Place all the topping ingredients into a small saucepan and gently melt them together, stirring constantly until smooth and well combined.
• Pour it over the base, and leave it to set in the fridge for a few hours.

I garnished this with a Tuile Biscuit.
