  No Bake Tartelettes with Raw Vegan Chocolate Ganache Filling

   

  Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup walnuts
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt, plus an extra pinch for the filling
  • 3 tbsp and 1/3 cup cacao powder (or cocoa powder), divided
  • 6 large, pitted medjool dates
  • 1 tbsp and 1/3 cup maple syrup, divided
  • 1 cup cashews, soaked overnight or for at least four hours
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Fresh raspberries (optional)

  
  

  Instructions

  1. To make the crust, grind oats in a food processor fitted with the S blade till powder. Add walnuts and grind till they're quite crumbly. Add sea salt and 3 tbsp cacao and pulse to combine.
  2. Add the dates to the processor and process till mixture is sticking together. Add 1 tbsp maple syrup and continue to process till mixture is holding together really well.
  3. Press crust into your tartelette pans, making sure to keep the thickness even and get the sides nice and high. Refrigerate for one hour or more (up to a day or two).
  4. In a high speed blender, blend the cashews, oil, 1/3 cup maple syrup, 1/3 cup cacao or cocoa powder, vanilla, water, and a pinch of sea salt. Let it blend for as long as necessary to make it completely, silky smooth.
  5. Pour the filling into the tartelette shells. Refrigerate for several hours before serving, to let the ganache set. Top with fresh raspberries if desired!
  6. Makes 2 4.75-inch tartelettes, with a little extra left over.

  
  These guys really did come together quickly, and fabulously.
  
  
  
  Note that, if you’re a strict raw foods eater, you can certainly use a crust of 1 1/2 cups walnuts, and no rolled oats. I like the texture that some oat flour lends, but it’s totally up to you. And if you don’t have a high speed blender, you can definitely still make the ganache in a food processor, but note that soaking the cashews is really essential! Or else you’ll have an uneven ganache. Smoothness is what you’re going for.
  
  
  
  These tartelettes, in spite of their diminutive size, are very rich and very filling. So you’ll likely be able to split one with a friend, a family member, or even a Valentine. I dare you to show off how delicious raw and vegan desserts can be!
