Chocolate Cardamom Tart

Vegan, gluten-free and no-bake Chocolate Cardamom Tart! An almond chocolate Khalas date crust with a cardamom scented chocolate filling. Deliciously rich, decadent and SO easy to make!

Chocolate Cardamom Tart Ingredients

Crust:

• D'vash Khalas Dates - Khalas dates boast a buttery-caramel flavor.
• Roasted Almonds, Walnuts or Pecans - Make sure your nuts are roasted. It will add more flavor and a crunchy texture.
• Raw Cacao Powder - You can also use dutch process cocoa.
• Coconut Oil - You can use refined or unrefined. I like using refined coconut oil as the coconut flavor is more mild.

Filling:

• Full-Fat Coconut Milk - Use coconut milk from the can.
• Vegan Dark Chocolate Chips - I used Endangered Species vegan chocolate chips, but you can use your favorite.
• D'vash Date Syrup - Adds a bit of sweetness.
• Vanilla Paste or Extract - Adds flavor.
• Cardamom - Cardamon is one of my favorite spices. It works SO well with chocolate.

Optional Garnish:

• Fresh Berries
• Flaky Sea Salt

Chocolate Cardamom Tart Instructions

Crust:

1. In the bowl of your food processor fitted with an S-blade, add pitted dates, roasted almonds, raw cacao and coconut oil. Pulse until the mixture is well combined and resembles coarse sand.
2. Transfer the crust to your 9 inch (23cm) tart pan with a removable base and evenly press into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Place in the freezer while we work on the filling.

Filling:

1. Heat coconut milk in a small saucepan until simmering.
2. Place chocolate chips in a heat proof bowl and pour hot coconut milk on top. Let stand, untouched for 1 minute and slowly stir together until combined.
3. Stir in date syrup, vanilla and cardamom.
4. Pour chocolate filling into crust, making sure to spread evenly.
5. Refrigerate for 2 hour or until set. Garnish with berries and/or flakey sea salt and enjoy!
