Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (at least 70% cocoa)
- 1/4 cup coconut cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Tip: Make sure to choose a high-quality almond butter that’s free from additives and preservatives for the best results.
How to Make no bake vegan chocolate avocado tart
- Start by blending the oats in a food processor until they resemble a fine crumb. I like to listen to some calming music while I do this, as it helps me get in the right mindset for baking (well, not baking, but you get the idea!).
- Transfer the oat mixture to a large bowl and add in the almond butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until a smooth dough forms, with a consistency similar to play dough. This is the perfect moment to smell the sweet aroma of the coconut oil and maple syrup wafting from the bowl.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. I find that using a bit of force helps me get into the zone, almost like I’m meditating while I work.
- Place the pan in the freezer for at least 10 minutes to allow it to set. The sound of the ice cream maker in the background provides the perfect accompaniment to this step.
- While the crust is freezing, prepare the filling by blending the avocados, chocolate chips, coconut cream, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor until smooth and creamy. I love the sound of the blender whirring away as it transforms the ingredients into a rich, velvety mixture.
- Remove the crust from the freezer and spoon the chocolate avocado mixture evenly over it. If you’re feeling fancy, you can sprinkle some chopped nuts over the top for added texture and visual appeal.
- Place the tart in the freezer for at least 10 minutes to allow it to set. During this time, I like to take a step back and admire my handiwork, feeling proud of myself for creating something so delicious and unique. The anticipation of slicing into the tart and taking that first bite is almost too much to bear!
- Once set, remove the tart from the freezer and transfer it to the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes. The sound of the refrigerator humming in the background is almost soothing, a reminder that patience is a virtue.
Tips From My Kitchen
- Don’t Skip the Rest Time: Allowing the filling to set in the freezer is crucial, as it helps the flavours meld together and the mixture to firm up. I used to struggle with this dish until I discovered this technique, and now I couldn’t imagine making it any other way.
- Use High-Quality Chocolate: The key to a rich, decadent chocolate flavour is to use high-quality chocolate chips that are at least 70% cocoa. This may seem like an unnecessary expense, but trust me when I say it’s worth it.
- Customise to Your Taste: One of the best things about this recipe is that you can customise it to your taste by adding your favourite nuts or dried fruits. Feel free to get creative and make it your own!
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Overcrowding the Pan: Make sure to press the dough evenly into the bottom of the tart pan, as overcrowding it can cause the crust to become too thick and difficult to work with. This will result in a dense, rather than light and airy, crust.
- Wrong Temperature: Remember to store the tart in the freezer until set, and then transfer it to the fridge to chill. If you’re unsure about the temperature, consult our Cookie Policy for guidance.
- Skipping the Rest Time: As mentioned earlier, allowing the filling to set in the freezer is crucial for the best results. Skipping this step can result in a soft, rather than firm, filling.
What to Serve With no bake vegan chocolate avocado tart
- Enjoy as a standalone dessert, or pair it with a scoop of your favourite ice cream for an added treat.
- Take it to your next potluck or gathering, where it’s sure to be a hit.
- Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
