Raw Chocolate Tart ForkI love sweets.  Yes, it’s true, so in order to satisfy the cookie monster inside me I like to have a sweet treat every week.  This lets me feel free and satisfied because I can have what I want. Yeah!

In order to stay balanced I make desserts which are healthy and still incredibly delicious.  Now that doesn’t mean I want to eat desserts every day but I love having one or two treats each week.

Raw Chocolate Tart forkThis Bittersweet Chocolate Tart is made with healthy ingredients.

Coconut oil contains Medium Chain Fatty Acids which quickly burn as fuel. They are harder for the body to convert into stored fat, and easier to burn off than long-chain triglycerides.

Coconut and coconut milk contain lauric acid which is a potent antioxidant. It’s a substance found only in breast milk and coconut.

Raw cacao is high in fiber and one of the highest dietary sources of magnesium.

To make the crust, process the walnuts in a food processor until they are chopped.  Add in the dates and cacao powder.   Process until it is sticky.

This is one of the best desserts I ever created. It’s a ridiculously creamy chocolate tart you can get on the table without a lot of fuss.

Store it in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or freeze.

I like to cut it into slices and freeze.  Then when I need a treat I take it out of the freezer and let it come to room temperature to enjoy a decadent treat.

    I made this as a special treat for my mom and a “normal” carnivorous, sugar consuming friend and both were so delighted that they refused to believe that I had tricked them into eating something raw, vegan and healthy! This tart is gourmet level but incredibly simple to make. Ingrid, thank you for who you are and what you do!

    I was blown away by this dessert recipe, and so was everyone who tried it. It was unlike anything I had ever made before and tasted like it was made in a vegan bakery. I can’t wait to make it again.
