Chocolate Tart with Coconut Cream
I love recipes that can be broken into different sections that can be used to build new creations. I've divided my Chocolate Tart with Coconut Cream recipe into three simple sections: the tart case, the ganache, and the coconut cream. The ganache is particularly versatile, and is delicious when melted onto cakes or used as a thick, rich icing. So, go and eat your healthy vegan dinner, buffer an episode of Law and Order, and get ready for your new favourite dessert.
Ingredients for the tart case
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1/4 cup oats
- 1/4 cup desiccated coconut

Ingredients for the chocolate ganache

- 450g vegan chocolate
Ingredients for the coconut cream
- 450g coconut cream
- Desiccated coconut and chocolate chips, to decorate
Instructions for the tart case
- Preheat oven to approximately 180 degrees Celsius, and set aside a large pie tin
- In a food processor, blitz flour, oats, coconut and cocoa until crumbly

Instructions for the ganache
- Heat milk and tea bags in a saucepan over a low heat until bubbles start to form (do not boil)
- Remove form heat and set aside for 20 minutes to let teabag flavour infuse
- Remove tea bags and place again on the heat, slowly adding chocolate until it has completely melted and is well combined
- Pour into tart case and place in the fridge to set for 1 hour
Instructions for the coconut cream
- Whip cream with a handheld or stand mixer, until thick and fluffy (only use the thick part of the cream, not the water at the bottom of the tin)
