Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups (180g) almond flour
- 0.5 cup (80g) Medjool dates, pitted and packed
- 2 tbsp (30ml) melted coconut oil
- 0.25 tsp (1.5g) sea salt
- 8 oz (225g) dark chocolate (70% cocoa), finely chopped
- 0.5 cup (120ml) full-fat coconut milk (canned)
- 2 tbsp (30ml) pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 0.5g fine sea salt
Instructions:
- Pulse the almond flour and sea salt in a food processor until combined.
- Add the pitted dates and coconut oil; process until the mixture resembles wet sand and clumps together when pressed.
- Firmly press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the tart pan using the back of a spoon.
- Place the crust in the freezer for 10 minutes to flash-set while preparing the filling.
- Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heat-proof bowl.
- Heat the coconut milk in a saucepan until it just reaches a simmer.
- Pour the hot milk over the chocolate and let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes.
- Gently whisk from the center outward until the mixture is glossy and mahogany-colored.
- Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until fully incorporated.
- Pour the chocolate emulsion over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm to the touch.
