Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mix almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Press mixture into a tart pan to form an even crust.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- To make the mousse, heat coconut milk in a small saucepan until simmering. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth, then mix in vanilla and a pinch of salt.
- Allow chocolate mixture to cool slightly, then gently fold in the whipped coconut cream until fully incorporated.
- Spoon or pipe the mousse into the cooled tart crust. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set.
- For the ganache, heat the coconut milk and pour it over the chocolate chips. Stir until smooth and glossy. Allow to cool slightly to thicken for piping.
- Pipe the ganache decoratively over the tart.
- Top with fresh whole raspberries and garnish with halved raspberries for contrast. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor and texture.
- The tart crust can be made a day ahead.
- Substitute whipped dairy cream for coconut cream if preferred.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
