Since the invention of peanut butter, there is only one other spread that has received just as much love and that’s Nutella! Nutella is a chocolate hazelnut spread that can be used in desserts, eaten on toast, and in any other way you could imagine. The original Nutella contains dairy, but fortunately, there are alternatives and it’s easy to make your own.

Nutella fans will quickly fall in love with Gabrielle St. Claire‘s luscious Dark Chocolate Hazelnut and Raspberry Tart that combines dark vegan chocolate with a fluffy, mousse-like hazelnut filling. Typically with desserts this rich and chocolatey, you expect to find it loaded with sugar and not the most nutritious ingredients. However, this tart stays relatively healthy by steering clear of refined sugars and opting for a nut-based crust in place of the traditional flour tart crust.
