How to Make A Vegan Chocolate Tart:

Whether or not you love Valentine’s Day, a sweet and creamy vegan tart is never a bad idea. The beauty of this recipe is that it’s super simple to make. This vegan chocolate torte uses ingredients you can find in your everyday grocery store! So let’s see how to make this chocolate tart.

  1. Start with soaking the cashews for the chocolate tart filling. Soak 3/4 cup of cashews in a bowl of water overnight. Or soak them in boiling hot water (removed from the stove) for 30 minutes. I usually soak mine in the hot water because I forget to soak them before going to bed the nice before. It’s the perfect little trick.
  2. Next, prepare the crust. Combine the crust ingredients into a food processor. Make sure you remove any pits from the dates. Blend until the texture is sticky and well combined.
  3. Line a 9″ springform pan or a 9″ tart pan (I used a tart pan like this one) with parchment paper. I didn’t need to line my tart pan because it’s a non-stick material and the tart comes out very easily. But if you are unsure, use parchment paper or very lightly, oil it. Add the crust ingredients into the pan and spread evenly with your fingers (the back of a spoon works as well). The mixture should spread up the sides. Press the crust firmly down. Place in the fridge/ freezer for 10 minutes.
  4. Prepare the chocolate filling. Drain and rinse the soaked cashews. Then add the soaked cashews, coconut cream and the rest of the filling ingredients to a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth.
  5. Remove the crust from the freezer. Add the filling mixture to the crust and tap the bottom of the pan to get rid of any bubbles out of the filling. Place the chocolate tart in the freezer for 6 hours or overnight- this is the hard part, obviously.
  6. Take the tart out of the freezer and let it thaw for 20 minutes before enjoying it. Keep this vegan tart stored in an airtight container in the freezer if you have leftovers.
