When making a dessert you want everyone to be able to enjoy it! Delicious white chocolate filling, crunchy base, served with seasonal fruit and using Califia Farms Unsweetened Almond Milk. This tart is also gluten free and vegan but still tastes incredible so everyone will love it regardless of any dietary requirements. The recipe should also work with dark chocolate if you prefer.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp ground flaxseed 1⁄2 cup oat flour
1 cup almond meal
1⁄2 cup rice flour
1⁄4 cup vegan butter
3 tbsp rice malt syrup 1 tbsp water
200ml Califia Farms Unsweetened Almond milk
250g vegan white chocolate*
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp coconut oil
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 180degrees Celsius (fan forced).
2. Place all of the pastry ingredients into a food processor and pulse the mixture until combined and the mixture sticks together between your fingers.
3. Lightly grease a non-stick tart tin (must be one with a removable base) and pour the mixture in. Use your fingers to press the mixture evenly into the tray and up the sides taking time to ensure no holes are left.
4. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges start to brown, remove and allow to cool fully – don’t remove the pastry from the pan.
5. Roughly chop the white chocolate and place it into a bowl with the coconut oil.
6. In a small saucepan heat the Califia Farms Unsweetened Almond Milk and vanilla gently until just bubbling. Pour the almond milk into the bowl with the chocolate and stir gently until the chocolate has melted and the mix is smooth.
7. Allow the mixture to cool for around 10 minutes before pouring into the tart base and placing into the fridge for 3 hours or overnight to set.
8. Once set remove the tart from the pan and decorate with fresh berries.
