Ingredients
  

  • 250 g dark chocolate chips
  • 3 ripe avocados
  • 150 g granulated sugar
  • 50 g unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 150 ml heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh fruit such as raspberries or strawberries

Method
 

  1. In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the chocolate chips, stirring occasionally. The chocolate should be smooth and glossy, with a rich aroma.
  2. In a separate bowl, scoop out the flesh of the avocados and mash until smooth. You should be left with a creamy, pale green mixture.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. The mixture should be well combined, with a deep brown colour.
  4. Add the vanilla extract and heavy cream to the sugar mixture, whisking until smooth. The mixture should be thick and creamy, with a sweet aroma.
  5. Fold the sugar mixture into the melted chocolate, then gently fold in the mashed avocado. The mixture should be smooth and creamy, with a rich chocolate flavour.
  6. Pour the mixture into a pre-made tart crust, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set. The tart should be firm to the touch, with a smooth and creamy texture.
  7. Just before serving, top the tart with chopped fresh fruit and a drizzle of honey. The fruit should be colourful and fresh, with a sweet and tangy flavour.

Notes

This tart requires at least 2 hours of refrigeration to set properly. For best results, ensure avocados are very ripe for a smooth texture. Use a pre-made tart crust for convenience.
