Ingredients
Scale
- 200 grams vegan chocolate cookies, finely crushed
- 80 grams coconut oil, melted
- 300 grams dark chocolate, chopped, at least 70% cocoa
- 240 milliliters full fat coconut milk
- 60 milliliters blood orange juice, freshly squeezed and strained
- 1 teaspoon blood orange zest
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 to 2 fresh blood oranges, thinly sliced for topping
Instructions
- Ensure your refrigerator has enough flat space for chilling the tart.
- In a bowl, mix the finely crushed vegan chocolate cookies with the melted coconut oil until the mixture resembles damp sand and holds together when pressed.
- Press the mixture firmly into a 9 inch tart pan, covering the base and sides evenly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
- Heat the coconut milk in a saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Pour it over the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until completely smooth. Add the blood orange juice, blood orange zest, and maple syrup, stirring until fully incorporated. Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top.
- Refrigerate the tart for at least 4 hours, or until fully set and firm.
- Arrange thin slices of fresh blood orange over the top before serving.
- Slice with a sharp knife, wiping the blade between cuts for clean edges, and serve chilled.
Notes
- Use high quality dark chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- Strain the blood orange juice to maintain a silky smooth filling.
- Chill overnight for the cleanest slices and most developed flavor.
