Tastes at least as good as it looks
I’m always trying to think of new desserts that are easy but also look nice. My friend Devorah is hosting a lunch for about 60 people in a few weeks and asked if I can make the dessert. Can I be honest and say that I was really flattered?? I started brainstorming and came up with this no bake vegan chocolate tart. Because its no bake, I thought it would be a good idea but she pointed out that it may be a little time consuming to make 60 of them. We decided not to serve this but I wanted to share the recipe with you. If you are making this for 6-12 people it really doesn’t take a lot of time and it’s very impressive. Best of all, its only 5 ingredients; 6 if you count the salt. It freezes well so you can make this in advance. I kept this vegan and dairy free by using coconut milk but you can substitute heavy cream if you’d like.
I love the short list of ingredients
Looks just like the date nut bites mixture!
Press into 4 inch tart pans
Frozen shells are easy to remove
Ganache mixture
Spoon into tart shells
- 1.5 cup raw almonds
- 2 cups dates
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ⅓ tsp salt
- 2 cups chopped chocolate or chocolate chips. It's important to use good quality
- 1 cup coconut milk
- Process almonds, dates, coconut and salt in food processor until completely ground and the mixture sticks together
- Press into 6 4 inch tart pans lined partially with parchment paper. See picture above.
- Freeze for about an hour until the shells are easily removed from pan
- About 20 minutes before you are ready to fill the tarts, combine the coconut milk and chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 2 -3 minutes on 50% heat until chocolate is melted
- Stir until smooth and glossy
- Let cool and then spoon into tart shells
- Refrigerate for an hour until set
It looks so delicious! I just did not want Batsheva to work so hard!
Her friend, Devora

Can this be adjusted to a standard size tart?
It shouldn’t be a problem. Let me know how it comes out
What a brilliant idea for a no-bake crust! I’ve tried ganache made with coconut milk and chocolate and it melts instantly on your tongue. This is a great pairing.
Thanks Dinah!
