Instructions
- Step 1: Line an 8-inch tart pan with parchment paper. Place 1 1/2 cups almond flour, 10 pitted medjool dates, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tbsp maple syrup, and 1/4 tsp sea salt into a food processor. Pulse until mixture sticks together and forms a crumbly dough.
- Step 2: Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the tart pan using your fingers or the back of a spoon. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
- Step 3: Open 1 can (13.5 oz) chilled full-fat coconut milk, scoop out the solid cream into a chilled bowl, leaving the liquid behind. Whip the coconut cream with 2 tbsp powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract using an electric mixer on high speed for about 3-4 minutes until fluffy and smooth.
- Step 4: Spread the whipped coconut cream evenly over the chilled crust, then sprinkle 1/3 cup toasted sliced almonds on top.
- Step 5: Refrigerate the tart for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld and filling to firm up.
