Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 ½ cups blanched almond flour (145g)
- 2 Tbsp coconut flour (14g)
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Filling
- 1 cup coconut cream*
- ½ cup unsweetened almond butter
- 4 oz dark chocolate chips (about ⅔ cup)
- ½ Tbsp peppermint flavoring**
Toppings (optional)
- Shredded coconut
- Miniature dark chocolate chips
- Naturally colored sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a 6-inch round springform pan with parchment paper or foil to prevent sticking and set it aside.
- Make the Crust: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, and salt. Add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, then mix well until the dough comes together. Firmly press this mixture evenly into the base of the prepared springform pan to form the crust.
- Prepare the Filling: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut cream together, stirring frequently to ensure a smooth blend without burning. Once fully melted, remove from heat and stir in the almond butter and peppermint flavoring until fully combined.
- Assemble the Tart: Pour the mint chocolate filling evenly over the prepared crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill to Set: Place the tart in the refrigerator and chill overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the filling to firm up.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Just before serving, decorate the tart with optional toppings such as shredded coconut, miniature dark chocolate chips, or naturally colored sprinkles to enhance appearance and texture.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or slice and store in the freezer for longer preservation.
Notes
- *Coconut cream refers to the thick cream separated from full-fat canned coconut milk; chill the can well before scooping out the cream.
- **Peppermint flavoring is a concentrated extract; adjust quantity to taste, ensuring it is food-grade and alcohol-free if preferred.
- This tart is best served chilled to maintain its firm texture.
- For a nut-free alternative, try replacing almond flour and almond butter with suitable seed-based substitutes, though results may vary.
- Ensure your dark chocolate chips are dairy-free to keep this recipe vegan and paleo.
