Chocolate Ganache Tart

Tell me all about this gluten free & dairy free chocolate ganache tart

  • Flavor – The chocolate filling is sweet and creamy (without any actual cream). The crust is lightly sweet and the toasted nuts add such a delicious flavor with the chocolate. Even though this recipe is made with coconut milk, you won't be able to taste it.
  • Texture – The crust is slightly crisp and has a wonderful crunch that goes so well with the ultra-creamy chocolate ganache.
  • Time – About 1 hour start to finish. No baking required, so the only added time is the chilling.
  • Difficulty – I’d put this just above totally easy, only because you have to press the filling into the tart pan. It’s not a tricky step, but just adds some time, but totally worth it. Watch the video to see how this is done using a simple household item.

Simple Ingredients to Make a Chocolate Tart

  • Dark Chocolate (Chips or Bar) - Just read the ingredients to find a chocolate that is free of dairy. I love Guittard semi-sweet chocolate chips, or those giant Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate bars work great too.
  • Coconut Milk - A can of FULL FAT coconut milk makes this recipe super creamy and delicious. You won't even taste the coconut. I tried this with low fat and it just doesn't hold together or taste right.
  • Toasted Pecans - I absolutely love the smell and flavor of toasted pecans. They get crispy and fragrant and taste even better.
  • Oats - You can use either quick or old-fashioned oats. Toasting them slightly removed some of the moisture and enhances the slight flavor.

How to make this vegan chocolate dessert

  • Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 9" spring form pan. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, gently toast pecans and oats for about 5 minutes or until pecans are fragrant.
  • Pour pecans and oats into a food processor. Blitz until very tiny pieces. About 30 seconds.
  • Add coconut oil, honey and salt. Blitz again until mixture starts to come together, about 15 seconds.
  • Using a cup or jar with a 90° angle, evenly press mixture into the bottom and sides of the pan.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This step keeps the chocolate from seeping into the crust.

Here at The Oven Light, we are always looking for ways to cut cooking time in half (or more!). We use shortcuts that don’t sacrifice flavor, we’re just getting smarter with our time. You won’t find “dump” meals here, but rather an approach to cooking that is mindful and intentional with time AND taste.
