Chocolate Raspberry Tarts
Ingredients
  • For the crust:
  • 1 ¼ cup almond flour
  • 3 tablespoons cacao powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin unrefined coconut oil, melted
  • For filling:
  • ½ cup extra-virgin unrefined coconut oil, melted
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup cacao powder
  • ½ teaspoon instant espresso powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • For topping:
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
  1. Thoroughly grease 4 or 5 tartlet pans, 4 to 5 inch in size, with coconut oil.
  2. To make the crust: Place the almond flour, cacao powder, and salt into a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the maple syrup and coconut oil and blend together with a fork until everything comes together and mixture becomes wet.
  3. Form the dough into 4 or 5 small balls and press evenly into tartlet pans with fingers along the bottom and up the sides. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to allow the dough to firm and chill.
  4. To make the chocolate filling: Add the coconut oil and maple syrup to the bowl of a food processor and process until well combined. Add the cacao powder and process until smooth, stopping to scrap down the edges of the bowl as needed. Pour the chocolate mixture over crust and spread evenly.
  5. Return tarts to the refrigerator to set and firm for at least 1 hour. Before serving, allow the tarts to come to room temperature and then place an even layer of raspberries over chocolate.
