Ingredients
- 1 cup peanuts
- 1 cup dates (pitted)
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Blend the base: In a food processor, combine the peanuts, pitted dates, almond butter, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and well-combined.
- Form the crust: Transfer the mixture to a tart pan and press it down evenly to form a solid crust. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to make sure it’s compact.
- Prepare the filling: In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil, cocoa powder, and maple syrup over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth.
- Add chocolate: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the dark chocolate chips and vanilla extract until fully melted and integrated.
- Assemble the tart: Pour the chocolate mixture over the crust, spreading it evenly. Use a spatula for a smooth finish.
- Chill: Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours, or until it is set. Slice into wedges and serve chilled.
Notes
You can substitute almonds or cashews for different flavors. Medjool dates are preferred for their softness, but you can use other varieties. Adjust cocoa powder based on your taste preference.
