Vegan Chocolate Tart Recipe (With Caramel) Recipe

By Peanut Palate

👩‍🍳Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

For the Crust

1¼ cup Medjool dates pitted

6 tbsp dry rolled oats or quick-cooking oats

6 tbsp raw walnuts

3 tbsp cacao powder

¾ tsp vanilla extract

Pinch salt

For the Caramel Layer

¼ can full-fat coconut milk

2 tbsp coconut sugar

¼ tsp vanilla

⅛ tsp salt

For the Chocolate Layer

½ cup full-fat canned coconut milk

2-4 tbsp agave syrup

⅛ tsp vanilla

1½ tsp refined coconut oil

Pinch salt

2¼ ounces vegan semisweet chocolate

Instructions

1Blend all crust ingredients together until a dough forms.

2Grease the bottom of the tart pan with a little bit of oil, then pat this dough down. Make sure there is enough room in the middle of the tart – you can make the sides of the crust thicker. It should be medium-thick.

3Mix together all ingredients, except the vanilla, in a stovetop pan or skillet over low heat with a rubber spatula or whisk. Keep stirring it until it is all melted, then take it off the heat and stir in the vanilla.

4Pour this chocolate layer evenly over top of the crust.

5Mix together all ingredients except the vanilla in a stovetop pan over medium heat. Continuously stir.

6Allow it to boil, then turn the heat to low right away. Keep stirring, and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes. It should thicken up.

7Turn off the heat, stir in the vanilla and let this caramel mixture cool down for 10 minutes.

8Pour it over the tart. Then top with any nuts, shaved chocolate, fresh fruit or other toppings.

9Refrigerate for a couple hours, or until you are able to cleanly cut through the tart. This should be about 4-5 hours.

10When serving, let it thaw outside of the fridge for 10 minutes before cutting. Tip: Dip a knife in boiling water before cutting. This also makes it easier to cut through the crust.

11Enjoy! See storage notes below.

Earth of Maria

I’ve never been good at introductions because when they’re needed, I seem to forget every single interesting thing about myself. But I guess we’ll start with the basics. My name is Maria, and I am a twenty year old student from England. I study history at the University of Oxford and live in Brighton, but I was born in Russia and moved to the UK around ten years ago. I’m a vegan foodie (as you can probably tell by this blog), a lover of long walks and somewhere awkwardly between extrovert and introvert. Veganism and healthy eating are a huge part of my life, given that both have helped me overcome an unhealthy relationship with food. Finding balance took a lot of time and patience. But, as with many things in life, hard work proved 110% worth it! Whenever I’m not in the kitchen or working in my room, you’ll often find me at the gym, or at the grocery store looking for inspo for my next recipe.
