Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour: creates a tender, nutty gluten-free tart crust
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder: adds rich chocolate flavor to the crust
  • 1/4 cup cassava flour: provides structure and improves crust texture
  • 2 tablespoons tapioca flour: helps bind the crust ingredients
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar or maple sugar: adds natural sweetness
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt: enhances chocolate flavor
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter: creates a buttery, crisp crust texture
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: adds warmth and depth
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate: creates a rich chocolate layer
  • 1 1/2 cups raw cashews, soaked: makes the creamy vegan filling
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup: sweetens the chocolate filling naturally
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder: provides intense chocolate flavor
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil: helps the filling set smoothly
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: balances the filling flavors
  • 1 tablespoon ground chia seeds or flax seeds: helps thicken the filling
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt: enhances the sweetness
  • 6-8 fresh figs: add natural sweetness and a fresh fruit topping


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare a tart pan for baking. Combine almond flour, cocoa powder, cassava flour, tapioca flour, coconut sugar, and sea salt in a bowl.
  2. Add vegan butter and vanilla extract, then mix until a soft dough forms. Press the dough evenly into the tart pan, creating a smooth crust and defined edges.
  3. Bake the crust until firm and slightly set. Allow it to cool before adding the filling.
  4. Melt the dark chocolate and spread it over the cooled crust to create an extra chocolate layer.
  5. Blend soaked cashews, maple syrup, cocoa powder, coconut oil, vanilla extract, chia or flax seeds, salt, and water until smooth and creamy.
  6. Pour the chocolate filling into the tart crust and spread evenly. Chill until the filling begins to firm.
  7. Slice fresh figs and arrange them over the chocolate filling for a decorative topping.
  8. Refrigerate the tart until fully set. Slice with a warm sharp knife and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Soak cashews before blending to achieve the smoothest and creamiest filling texture.
  • Use ripe but firm figs for the best flavor and presentation.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to several days.
  • The tart can be prepared ahead of time and chilled overnight before serving.
  • For variations, replace figs with berries, cherries, or other seasonal fruits.
