📋About The Recipe

This vegan tart is one of those desserts that look super fancy but in all honestly, only takes a couple of minutes to put together. Rich, creamy, and decadent, this vegan chocolate torte, is such an easy no bake chocolate dessert that will impress your guests! It’s the best last minute dessert that works for holidays, dinner parties, or even a date night if you’re a chocolate lover who can split an entire tart 😉

Best part? This no-bake dessert is naturally gluten free, is a dairy free chocolate cake, and is of course vegan so you can accommodate multiple dietary restrictions. It’s so irresistible that you’re going to want to lick the dairy free chocolate pudding straight off the mixing spoon!

👨🏻‍🍳Why Make This Recipe

  • Super easy – This is a great dessert to try if you’re a beginner because it is so easy to make.
  • Only 10 minutes prep – Have your ingredients prepped and ready to go in 10 minutes or less!
  • 6 Ingredients – A short ingredient list is always a top reason to make a dessert. You won’t have any difficulties getting the ingredients for this delicious vegan chocolate tart.
  • Decadent – It’s rich, decadent and totally delicious.
  • Crowd pleaser – Who doesn’t like chocolate? This dessert is definitely a crowd pleaser.
  • Gluten free & Vegan – The crust has no gluten and there is no egg or dairy in the chocolate filling! Even so, it’s as tasty as a regular tart, if not even more tasty!

🥘Ingredients

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!
  • Maple Syrup – agave or if not vegan try honey.
  • Ground almonds – if you want this tart nut free swap for desiccated coconut or oat flour.

🔪Method

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.

👪Recipe FAQ’s

Below are some answers to commonly asked questions for this Vegan Chocolate Tart.

How can I make this chocolate tart nut free?

Easy! Swap the ground almonds for desiccated coconut or oat flour.

How long will this last and how do I store it?

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.

How do I remove a chocolate tart from the tin?

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.
