Today I am welcoming the gorgeous Alison from Relauncher to share a fabulous healthy chocolate recipe with us. She has created this amazing raw, vegan tart which would finish off an Easter feast perfectly and give you a nice hit of chocolate!
Healthy Chocolate Tart
Vital stats: sugar free, gluten free, dairy free, vegan, egg free
Okay, so this is what you need:
Crust
2 cups activated mixed nuts
3 tablespoons organic coconut oil
1 1/4 cups dessicated coconut
2 tablespoons organic cacao powder
8 dates
Filling
Handful of berries
1 1/2 cups coconut milk
2 tablespoons organic cacao powder
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 tablespoons organic coconut oil
4 dates
1/2 teaspoon stevia
NOTE: if you want a creamier filling, you can omit the coconut milk and stevia and replace with coconut cream!
Okay, so this is how you do it:
Crust
- Whizz up all the ingredients in a powerful blender. If you don’t have a powerful blender, just whizz the ingredients in small batches
- Pack the mixture into a lined cake dish and place in the freezer whilst making the filling
Filling
- Blend the dates, then remove from the blender and set aside
- Whizz the coconut milk and stevia in the blender for 7 minutes (this helps slightly thicken the milk)
- If you have opted to use coconut cream instead, whizz the coconut cream in the blender for about 5 minutes
- Add dates and the remaining ingredients (except the berries) to the blender and give it a quick blend to mix the ingredients thoroughly
- Place the berries on the crust, then add the filling on top
- Return to the freezer for approximately 4 hours before you enjoy

the beauty of coconut and cacao together – heaven!
Oh My Lord!!!!!!! YUUUUUUUMMMMMMMM!
I know right… !
Yum, sounds delicious – great to be introduced to a new website too 🙂
you will love her recipes Lou!
Any suggestions for nut alternative for the crust? I’m seriously allergic…
I would suggest a mix of seeds 🙂
Oh this just looks delightful…I am seriously having to stop myself from making it right now!
Lovely looking recipe. Only I am not familiar with the term activated nuts.. what the heck are activated nuts?
Thanks Emily
HI Emily – they are nuts that have been soaked in water! You can just use normal nuts if you want 🙂
This looks so good and cannot wait to try it out.Please can anyone who has made it tell me what size tin they made it in
What are activated nuts?
nuts that have been soaked in water 🙂 you can use normal nuts if you like
Chocolate, coconut, dates and berries are only some of my REASONS FOR LIVING… This is brilliant, thank you for sharing!
I do agree with you Twitchy!! can’t get much better than that huh?
I’m going to try it with a hazelnut base… yum!
I made this last night and served it today, but i realised that you could only serve it frozen, as the filling doesn’t set (i made it with the coconut cream option). It was absolutely delicious!! Kind of reminded me of a healthier version of the old Sarah Lee chocolate bavarian 🙂
thanks for the feedback – yum!
Vanilla? Is that essence? scraped vanilla bean? Paste? Or just anything vanilla flavoured?
anyway you like it 🙂
