Healthy chocolate tart recipe

Today is sunny, which is a rare occasion in the UK. As soon as the sun is out I fancy something cool and sweet, so here I am today sharing my healthy chocolate tart recipe.

This recipe is so easy, yet very decadent, indulgent, rich… simply amazing! Oh, and you don't even have to turn on your oven!

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. The tart crust is made with a mixture of nuts, dates and cacao (or you could also use cocoa powder). The chocolate layer is made of just 2 ingredients; my all-time favourite Chocolateeha raw chocolate and oat cream. Get Chocolateeha here.

Oat cream is a lovely cream alternative that is delicious and naturally sweet. It’s perfect for pouring and cooking and completely free from lactose, milk protein and soya.

This chocolate tart is so shiny that you can almost see your reflection in it. I like keeping things simple, but I also like to make a bit of an impression and this tart recipe combines both. It is so easy to make, yet with a few very simple decorations of various berries, crushed nuts and mint leaves, it looks so beautiful.

If you're thinking that the texture looks spot on, you are right. Creamy, smooth, yet firm enough to slice easily.  It doesn’t melt either so you can leave this beauty out for the entire party!

Ingredients

• 1.5 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:
• Load of berries, fresh mint leaves and crushed nuts

Instructions

1. 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.
2. Blend until the mixture starts coming together and if needed, add a splash of water.
3. 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).
4. Pop in the fridge for an hour to firm up.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Pop back in the fridge to set for an hour, but preferably two.
8. Gently remove the tart from the tart tin, decorate with fresh berries, crushed nuts and fresh mint leaves before serving.
9. If you have a bit of oat cream left, pour some over.
10. Enjoy!

That’s it, a really simple dessert to whip up for a last minute post-dinner treat or lazy Sunday cooking session. The rich, glossy chocolate ganache and gorgeous berries just bring it all together in the sweetest, freshest way! It's just pure, silky, smooth chocolate decadence.
