Directions
-
Step 1
For the tart base, blend all ingredients together. The mixture should be a little sticky, so you may need to add in a splash of water if it feels a little dry. Press the mixture into individual tart moulds, preferably with springform bottoms.
-
Step 2
Melt the mint and dark chocolate using the double boiler method, then stir in the coconut cream, olive oil and salt until smooth. Pour into your tart shells, then put them into the freezer to set for 3 to 5 hours.
-
Step 3
Once set, remove from the moulds and move to your serving tray. Add a spoonful of plant-based cream on top of each tart and garnish with a generous sprinkle of the chopped mint crunch chocolate.
