This step is key to a smooth crust and filling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2: Prepare the Crust<\/strong><br \/>In a food processor, combine the almonds and the \u00bd cup of dates for the crust. Pulse until a fine, crumbly mixture forms. Add the melted 50g of chocolate, 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, and salt. Process again until the mixture starts to stick together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3<\/strong><br \/>Firmly press the crust mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch round tart pan with a removable bottom. Place it in the freezer to set while you prepare the filling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 4: Prepare the Filling<\/strong><br \/>Clean your food processor bowl. In a small saucepan on low heat, gently warm the coconut cream, the 100g of chocolate (or cocoa powder), and the \u00bc cup of coconut oil, stirring until just melted and smooth. Do not let it boil.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 5<\/strong><br \/>Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the food processor. Add the remaining \u00bd cup of dates and the vanilla extract. Blend until the filling is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 6: Assemble and Chill<\/strong><br \/>Pour the chocolate filling into the chilled crust and spread evenly. Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is firm to the touch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 7<\/strong><br \/>Before serving, carefully remove the tart from the pan. Top with whipped coconut cream and fresh berries, if desired. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Cook&#8217;s Notes<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dairy-Free &#038; Gluten-Free:<\/strong> This recipe is naturally dairy-free and gluten-free. Just ensure you use a brand of dark chocolate that contains no milk and is certified gluten-free.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How to get Coconut Cream:<\/strong> Chill a can of full-fat coconut milk in the fridge for at least 4 hours. Open the can without shaking it, and the thick cream will have risen to the top. Scoop this part out.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No Food Processor?<\/strong> A high-powered blender can also work, but you may need to stop and scrape down the sides more often.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<h3>Nutrition Facts<\/h3>\n<p><em>(Approximate values per slice, based on 8 servings):<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Calories:<\/strong> 460 kcal<\/li>\n<li><strong>Protein:<\/strong> 6 g<\/li>\n<li><strong>Carbohydrates:<\/strong> 34 g<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fat:<\/strong> 35 g<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fiber:<\/strong> 7 g<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> 24 g<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>***Disclaimer:*** Nutritional information is estimated and may vary based on the specific ingredients used.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for a rich, decadent dessert that requires zero oven time and uses simple, healthy ingredients?
