Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate, melted
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour and cocoa powder, whisking thoroughly to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- Add melted coconut oil and maple syrup to the dry ingredients, stirring until a cohesive, slightly crumbly dough forms that holds together when pressed.
- Transfer the mixture into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing firmly and evenly across the bottom and up the sides to create a uniform crust.
- Place the crust in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to firm up and set while preparing the chocolate layer.
- Melt dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring carefully to ensure smooth consistency without burning.
- Remove the chilled crust and pour the melted chocolate over the base, using a spatula to spread evenly and create a smooth chocolate layer.
- Arrange fresh sliced strawberries in a decorative pattern over the chocolate layer, covering the entire surface.
- Return the tart to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour to allow chocolate to set and flavors to meld.
- Before serving, let the tart sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing.
- Slice into 8 equal portions and serve chilled, optionally garnishing with additional fresh strawberries or a dusting of cocoa powder.
Tips
- Quality Ingredients Matter: For the best flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate and fresh, ripe strawberries. Organic ingredients can elevate the taste and presentation of your tart.
- Chill Time is Key: Don’t skip the chilling step! Allowing the tart to set in the refrigerator not only helps the chocolate firm up but also allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Customize Your Crust: Feel free to experiment with the crust! You can add a pinch of sea salt for a sweet and salty twist or incorporate nuts for added texture.
- Presentation is Everything: When arranging the strawberries, try creating a pattern or design to make your tart visually stunning. A little creativity goes a long way!
- Serve with a Twist: Consider serving the tart with a dollop of coconut whipped cream or a drizzle of extra melted chocolate for an extra touch of indulgence.
