Ingredients

The Crust

  • 1 cup whole almonds (unsalted)
  • 1 cup spooned and leveled almond flour
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp melted coconut oil

Filling and Topping

  • 3 bittersweet chocolate bars (4 ounces each, coarsely chopped)
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk (13.5 ounces)
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • A handful sliced almond and unsweetened shredded coconut
  • A pinch sea salt

Instructions

  • Start by preheating your oven to 300°F or 149°C to ensure the perfect baking environment for your tart.
  • In a food processor, pulse almond flour and whole almonds until coarsely chopped, then mix in melted coconut oil and maple syrup until crumbly. Press the mixture tightly into a 9-inch tart pan and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before adding the filling.
  • Place chopped chocolate in a bowl, drizzle with maple syrup, and set aside. In a saucepan, bring the coconut milk to a boil and pour it over the chocolate, stirring until smooth.
  • Pour the filling into the cooled crust, then top with sliced almonds, shredded coconut, and a sprinkle of sea salt for added flavor and texture.
  • Cover the tart loosely and refrigerate it for 3 to 4 hours, or overnight, to let it set. It can last in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.
  • Once set, slice the tart and enjoy! Any leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 5 days at best.

Notes

  • Make the tart 3 days in advance, cover it tightly, and store it in the fridge for 3 days. Or else, freeze it for 3 months.
  • Toast the coconut and almonds to enhance their aroma. Sprinkle some chopped chocolate for extra flavor.
  • Make a crust from oats, almond flour, cocoa powder, and espresso powder for a richer chocolate note.
