Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 8 hours
Total Time 8 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cacao/cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil

Filling

  • 2/3 cup unsweetened peanut or almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 tablespoon melted coconut oil
  • pinch of sea salt

Ganache

  • 3/4 cup chopped dark or semisweet dairy-free, GF, chocolate
  • 1/4 cup canned coconut milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Coat the bottoms of tart shells lightly with cooking spray or rub with coconut oil. In a medium bowl, stir together the almond flour, cacao, maple syrup, and coconut oil until mixture holds together when pressed. If it's too dry, add just a little more coconut oil. Press firmly into the bottoms and up the sides of the tart shells, about 1/4 inch thick.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together the nut butter, coconut oil, and syrup. Gently spread a layer of this nut butter mixture about 1/4-inch thick over the crust. If using unsalted nut butter, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over.
  3. Place the chocolate in a medium bowl. Heat the coconut milk in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Carefully pour the hot coconut milk over the chocolate and whisk until the chocolate has melted and turned into a thick ganache. Whisk in the vanilla. Pour the ganache over the peanut butter filling and smooth with the back of a spoon. Place the tarts in the refrigerator to set up overnight.

Notes

Paleo Option: Use almond rather than peanut butter. Be sure to use paleo-friendly chocolate such as Enjoy Life or Lily's Sweets.
