Salted Caramel Chocolate Tart [Vegan]
Serves
10
Ingredients
For the Base:
- 8 4/5 ounces vegan biscuits (GF if required)
- 4 1/4 ounces dairy-free spread (+extra for greasing)
For the Chocolate Filling:
- 2 1/4 cup dark chocolate
- 2 1/2 cups coconut milk (canned)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla essence
- Pinch of salt
For the Salted Caramel:
- 2/3 cup coconut milk (white, thicker part from the top of the can)
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
Preparation
Base:
- Melt your vegan spread in a saucepan over a low heat
- Add your biscuits to a sandwich bag, seal, and bash with a rolling pin until a crumb forms
- Combine biscuits and melted spread in a bowl
- Grease a round baking dish with vegan spread (a dish with a removable bottom works best)
- Spread your biscuit mixture evenly along the bottom of the dish and press down gently with the back of a spoon
- Leave to chill in the fridge for an hour
Filling:
- Break up your chocolate into a large bowl, and add the coconut oil
- Heat the coconut milk slowly over a low heat until it is steaming hot
- Pour the hot coconut milk over the chocolate and oil in order to melt down. Stir slowly and gently to combine
- Add the vanilla and salt, and stir to combine
- Pour over the set base and place back in the fridge for another hour
Caramel:
- Add brown sugar to a saucepan over a medium-low heat. Stirring often, allow the sugar to cook for 1-2 minutes
- Add the coconut milk and stir to combine. Cook until bubbling, then for one further minute
- Add salt, stir in then remove from heat
- Stir the caramel into the chocolate tart bit by bit in any pattern you like to create a marble effect
- Return the tart to the fridge to firm up for at least 4 hours, but ideally over night. Keep refrigerated until you are ready to serve
Eating:
- Remove the tart from the tray by pressing the bottom out (no, sorry, this recipe is too tasty to ruin with a tasteless joke here)
- Transfer to a large serving plate, and decorate with fresh berries if you’d like
- Cut into slices – this recipe yields 10-12 slices
- Enjoy!
