Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup honey
- 8 oz dark chocolate (70% cacao)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups almond flour and 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. Add 1/3 cup honey and mix until the mixture sticks together like wet sand, forming a dough.
- Step 2: Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, smoothing with the back of a spoon. Place in the fridge to chill while preparing the filling.
- Step 3: Chop 8 oz dark chocolate into small pieces and place in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup heavy cream and 3 tbsp butter to a gentle simmer over medium heat until the butter melts and the cream is hot but not boiling.
- Step 4: Pour the hot cream and butter mixture over the chopped chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes. Stir gently until smooth and glossy.
- Step 5: Pour the chocolate filling into the chilled almond crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set before serving.
