Instructions
- Prepare the Gingerbread Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a tart pan with a removable bottom. In a bowl, mix almond flour, oat flour, coconut flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and water. Mix until dough forms. Press dough into pan and bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Allow it to cool.
- Make the Chocolate Filling: In a saucepan, heat coconut milk over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips. Stir until smooth. Add maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt, and mix until combined.
- Assemble the Tart: Pour chocolate filling into the cooled crust. Smooth it evenly with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to set.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh mint, cocoa powder, or edible gold leaf before serving. Enjoy chilled.
Notes
- Make Ahead: This tart can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Substitute Coconut Milk: Use almond or oat milk for a lighter filling, though coconut milk adds richness.
- Gluten-Free: This tart is naturally gluten-free, made with almond, oat, and coconut flours.
- Sweeten More: Adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup in the filling or topping with powdered sugar.
