    Instructions

    INSTRUCTIONS

      Chocolate Tart Base

      • Place all the ingredients into a blender and process until the dates and nuts have broken down and are well combined. If required at 1-2 teaspoons of water to help the mixture come together.
      • If your food processor is not strong enough soak the dates in hot water first for 20 minutes before draining and then processing.
      • Line and grease a 20cm/8 inch springform cake tin. Press the chocolate tart base mixture into the base of the cake tin.

      Chocolate Pudding

      • Place all the ingredients (except for the chocolate chips) in a blender and mix until smooth. Alternatively this can be done with a hand blender. (If you have neither of these you can use a hand whisk and combine the ingredient. The resultant pudding will not be as smooth but will still taste delicious).
      • Pour the chocolate pudding over the tart base and out in the fridge for at least 4 hours to set.

      Coconut Whipped Cream

      • Palace the thickened cream, vanilla and maple syrup in the bowl of a kitchen stand mixture and whisk in high until thickened. This may take up to 5 minutes.
      • Place the cream in the fridge to thicken further before using if it has not thickened enough.
      • When ready, spread the cream over the set chocolate pudding.

      Cherry Coulis

      • Place the ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to the boil over a medium heat.
      • Reduce the heat and cook for 8 minutes, or until the cherry coulis has thickened. Allow to cool completely before placing on top of the whipped coconut cream.
      • Serve.
