I had to share my favourite healthy dessert recipes in time for the festive season! My friends and family go absolutely go nuts for this. It’s perfect for your next celebration or event!
Serves: 8–10
Ingredients
For the crust:
1 heaped cup hazelnuts
½ cup shredded coconut
2 tbsp raw cacao
¼ tsp sea salt
2 tbsp melted coconut oil
10 Medjool dates, pitted and torn
For the filling:
½ cup melted coconut oil
½ raw cacao powder
⅓ cup rice malt syrup or maple syrup
1 tsp sea salt
To serve:
handful of hazelnuts
handful of fresh raspberries
Method
Place the hazelnuts in a food processor and blitz until they’re finely chopped. Add the shredded coconut, cacao powder and sea salt, melted coconut oil and process again to combine. Add the dates one at a time and process until the mixture comes together.
Press the crust into a 24cm tart tin using the back of a spoon. Ensure the crust is evenly pressed and spread up the sides of the tin. Place it in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
To make the chocolate filling, add the remaining melted coconut oil, raw cacao powder, rice malt or maple syrup and sea salt to a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Remove crust from freezer. Pour the chocolate filling into the crust evenly and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour to set.
To serve, decorate the tart with chopped hazelnuts and fresh raspberries.
