What makes this chocolate tart 'raw'?

This tart is considered raw because neither the crust nor the filling requires baking, relying on chilling to set and maintain the integrity of its ingredients.

Can I taste the avocado in the chocolate filling?

The avocado in the filling primarily contributes to a rich, creamy texture, and its flavor is masked by the dark chocolate and maple syrup, making it undetectable.

What kind of dark chocolate is best for the filling?

The recipe suggests using dark chocolate with about 70% cacao for a balanced richness and depth of flavor in the creamy filling.

What if I don't have a creme brulee torch for the bananas?

If you don't have a torch, you can arrange the sugar-sprinkled banana slices on a baking sheet and broil them for a few seconds until caramelized.

How should I store the Raw Chocolate Tart?

Store the chilled tart in the refrigerator. It's best served fresh, especially with the caramelized bananas, to enjoy optimal texture and flavor.
