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.
- Ground almonds – if you want this tart nut free swap for desiccated coconut or oat flour.

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.

This was an absolute blast at my Friendsgiving. (It’s like the American Thanksgiving, but a tad less formal, and with friends!) I will note that I used clarified butter (aka ghee) instead of coconut oil as well as with a parchment paper-lined pie tin instead of the tart tin because they were what I had on hand. It still turned out pretty well. Props for making a flexible recipe!
Hi James, I found you through tiktok :). Loved the tarte, but since I used 70% chocolate it was a little bitter, so next time I’ll add some milk chocolate as well. Thank you for the recipe!
Delicious recipe, easy to prepare
Tx a lot
Thank you Christian 🙂
I made this for dessert on Christmas Day and it was a BIG hit. I’ve even made a second one already!! So simple and easy, yet utterly delicious and more-ish. I’ve also experimented with Oat flour and coconut cream instead of milk, all delicious.
I can see that this is going to be my ‘go-to’ dessert from now on ♥️
Made this on Christmas Day while making the dinner. So so simple & quick to make and better still my 3 kids have said it’s the best dessert they had ever tasted & asked me to make it again!! Thank you James it is Delicious!
Happy Christmas x
I made this today for our dessert tonight. I halved the recipe and made 2 individual tarts. Wow! It was fantastic, I served it with fresh figs and maraschino cherries. It’s was delicious.
I made this last night…fabulous! I used dark chocolate chips. It would also be good using either white chocolate chips or butterscotch chips…they would pair well with the chocolate almond flour crust!
Made this for my sister to say well done for her GCSE results. It was absolutely incredible and will definitely be making this again!
what can i use in place of coconut milk?
Have made this many times and love it! Thank you James!
Thanks Claire 🙂 glad to hear you’re enjoying it so much!
Great recipe, thank you. The tart was so easy to make and tasted incredibly decadent. I added homemade strawberry Jane before pouring in the chocolate mix and it turned out just right (as it added a bit of sweetness).
Thanks Claire 🙂 great to hear you enjoyed it and the sound of adding strawberry jam…. delicious!
Hi James,
Can I use coconut cream in place of the coconut milk?
Thank you!
Hey Roms, hmm not sure on that as I haven’t tried it. Sorry 🙁 if you do try it though let me know how you get on!
I’ve just made it with coconut cream, and it turned out great. I thought coconut milk would be too runny.
