INGREDIENTS
Base:
- 2¼ cups (270g) almond meal
- ⅓ cup (35g) cacao powder
- ⅓ cup (60g) coconut oil, melted
- ¼ cup (60ml) rice malt syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling:
- ½ cup (125ml) full-fat coconut milk
- ¼ cup (60ml) cherry juice
- 200g dark chocolate, chopped
Topping:
- ¼ cup (40g) fresh cherries, sliced in half and pitted

METHOD
-
Grease a 21 cm × 3.5 cm deep fluted tart tin with removable base.
-
To make the base, combine the almond meal, cacao powder and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Mix well. Add the melted coconut oil, rice malt syrup and vanilla extract. Mix with your hands until a dough forms.
-
Gather the dough into a ball and transfer to the tart tin. Press out evenly to cover the base and sides. Refrigerate until needed.
-
For the filling, place the coconut milk and cherry juice into a saucepan. Bring to the boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat and add the chocolate. Whisk until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
-
Pour the filling into the base. Top with the fresh cherry halves and pomegranate seeds. Refrigerate for 3–4 hours, until set. Cut into slices to serve.
TIP:
When removing the tart from the tin, if it’s stubborn, try going around the edge with a knife to loosen it.
