How to Prepare Chocolate Hazelnut Tart [Vegan, Gluten-Free, Paleo]

Preheat the oven to 350° F.
To make the crust, place hazelnut flour and salt in a food processor and pulse until combined. Add maple syrup and coconut oil and process until the mixture forms a ball.
Butter the square tart pan with coconut butter. Take the pastry out of the food processor and press the pastry on the tart pan. (It might be a little bit sticky. So, you might need to make your fingers a little together with coconut oil because you can't handle it like usual plain flour tart pastry).
Chill the pastry for 15 minutes in a fridge.
Make some holes with a fork at the bottom of the pan.
Bake it for 15 minutes until it stays together (make sure it's baked because otherwise later it doesn't stay together properly).
While the crust is in the oven, make the filling. For the filling, firstly make the caramel layer. Soak the dates in a hot water for 5 minutes (or when you use juicy dates, then you don´t need to soak them). Drain the soaked dates (don´t through away the dates water). Put the dates in the blender and blend until almost smooth. Add about 2 tbsp dates water and blend until the mixture is smooth.
When the crust has cooled down and is at room temperature, then cover the crust (it should be at room temperature) with dates caramel (thin layer). Add some chopped hazelnuts on top.
Leave the leftover caramel for the rest of the filling. For the chocolate filling, blend together avocado, dates caramel, maple syrup, melted cocoa butter, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt until smooth.
Fill the tarts with chocolate filling (you can use a piping bag) and decorate with hazelnuts and roses.
Put the tart in the fridge for 2 hours until set.
