Chocolate Queen of Tarts

Makes: 6 tarts

Ingredients

Method

  • Basic Tart Shell
  • 120g desiccated coconut
  • 125g nut flour
  • 50–75mL coconut nectar
  • 2 pinches Himalayan pink salt
  • Coconut oil, for greasing

  • Choc-Mint Filling
  • 45g bar Pana Chocolate Mint
  • 3 tsp coconut oil
  • 50g coconut butter, melted
  • 120mL coconut cream
  • 1 tbsp coconut nectar
  • Pinch Himalayan pink salt

  • Pana Chocolate bar shavings, to garnish
  1. Blend together all tart shell ingredients except coconut oil.
  2. Grease tart tins with coconut oil and place baking paper on base. Press an even amount of mixture into each tin.
  3. Press mixture firmly to compact it, only allowing shell to come about 1cm up sides of tin. While you are compacting mixture, you will notice the oils releasing — this is a great thing!
  4. Freeze to firm up a little, then pop shells out. Keep tart shells refrigerated until needed.
  5. To make filling, melt chocolate and coconut oil over bain-marie. Pour melted chocolate and oil into bowl along with all other ingredients and fold gently to combine.
  6. Pour equal amounts of filling into each tart shell, then return tarts to fridge to set for 30 mins.
  7. Garnish with chocolate shavings.
