Dark Chocolate Espresso Tart
A silky espresso-infused ganache poured into a crisp chocolate cookie crust. Vegan, dreamy, and scandalously delicious with zero dairy drama.
Ingredients
Crust
- 1½ cups crushed vegan chocolate cookies
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- Pinch of sea salt
Ganache Filling
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 200 g about 1¼ cups vegan dark chocolate, chopped
- 2 tbsp freshly brewed espresso
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp maple syrup optional, depending on sweetness drama
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Channel your inner pastry queen.
- Combine crushed cookies, oil, maple syrup, and salt in a bowl. Stir until it looks like edible soil.
- Press the mixture into the tart pan like it owes you rent.
- Bake crust for 15 minutes until firm. Let it cool while you question life choices.
- In a saucepan, warm the coconut milk until it simmers—don’t boil or overachieve.
- Turn off heat. Add chopped chocolate, cover for 2 minutes, then whisk like your life depends on it.
- Stir in espresso, vanilla, and extra maple syrup (if your sweet tooth is co-dependent).
- Pour the ganache into the cooled crust. Gently shake pan to even it out.
- Refrigerate for 2 hours or until set. Distract yourself by online shopping.
- Garnish with shaved chocolate or espresso beans before serving. Act like it took all day.
