Ingredients to make Vegan Chocolate Tart
With only these 6 ingredients you can make the most delicious vegan Chocolate Tart. But if you haven’t got all these ingredients here are a few swap suggestions for you.
- Coconut oil – for another oil such as sunflower or any nut oils.
- Coconut milk fat – try creamed coconut instead.
- Dark chocolate – you can use any chocolate! I also use this to make my Vegan Chocolate Mousse or Rice Crispy Cakes.
- Maple Syrup – agave or if not vegan try honey.

How to make Vegan Chocolate Tart
Step 1: Heat a pot with 3/4 can of coconut milk until simmering. Take off the heat, add in the chocolate and allow to melt.
Step 2: Now add all the base ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix them together
Step 3: Now press the bass into your tart tin. I use this tart tin which allows you to press out bottom so you can easily take it out after it’s cooled.
Step 4: Finally pour your chocolate mix into the tart tin and place in the fridge for 2-3 hours until it firmed up.
Step 5: Once it has set you can top your vegan chocolate tart with whatever you want and it’s ready to show off to your friends/family!
Recipe FAQs
Below are some answers to commonly asked questions for this Vegan Chocolate Tart.
Easy! Swap the ground almonds for desiccated coconut or oat flour.
Not long as it’s so tasty! But say you have some leftover you can store it in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Your tart tin should have a removable bottom. Find an item that is smaller than your tart tin’s bottom such as a small cup with no handles, place the tart on top and gently wiggle the tart tin’s rings of the side and down.
Top Tips
- Want beautiful clean cuts for your chocolate vegan tart? Run your knife under hot water between cuts.
- For a beautiful presentation, top with fresh berries and use flakey sea salts.
- For an even top, after you’ve added the chocolate mix to the tart tin, give it a few short bangs on to your countertops to pop any air bubbles that may have formed and even out the tops.
- If you are worried about your chocolate tart sticking to your tart tin, feel free to grease it with some coconut oil so it can easily slide off.
Leftovers
You can store any leftovers no-bake chocolate tart slices in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days. If you plan on freezing this, be sure it is tightly wrapped and when ready to enjoy, thaw in the fridge.

Bought your book last year and love it. Thank you.
Thanks for the support Liz 🙂
Can you use cocoa powder instead of chocolate, if so how much would you suggest?
Hey Lesley, good question. I’ve not tried this but feel like it wouldn’t work as well as it wouldn’t be creamy enough and won’t set.
What is the size of the tart tin you’re using?
10 inch
Absolutely delicious. It was so easy to make and believe me I’m no cook! It looks like a lot of effort has gone into it so I was well chuffed! I’ve done it a couple of times now for special occasions and will be one I turn to when I need to impress.
LOVE this 🙂 thank you Andrea!
This tart. Honestly, I make this regularly to take to work. It always goes down so well. Truly decadent.
