Description
This chocolate peanut butter tart is vegan, gluten-free and the best part is that is super easy to make and it only requires 6 ingredients. The hardest is to wait for it to set!
Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 3 cups salted gluten-free pretzels (the twisted kind) plus a few extra to decorate to top
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- 3 tbsp all-natural peanut butter, at room temperature
- 2 tsp maple syrup
Chocolate Ganache
- 1 cup vegan mini chocolate chips (here we used Enjoy Life )
- 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- 1/2 cup all-natural peanut butter plus 2 tsp to swirl at the top (optional), at room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F
- Place the pretzels in a food processor and pulse until ground. Add melted coconut oil, peanut butter, and maple syrup and pulse until well combined
- Transfer the pretzel mixture into a non-stick 11"x1.5" tart pan with a removable bottom Gently press it evenly into the pan, so it comes up the sides (using the edge of a measuring cup or glass to press the sides will help you get an even thickness). Bake at 350F for 8-10 minutes. Let it cool slightly and place it in the refrigerator until it cools completely and the crust hardens
- To prepare the filling, place the chocolate chips in a large glass or metal heatproof bowl. Heat the coconut milk in a saucepan over medium heat, until bubbles start to form on the sides and pour over the chocolate chips. Let the coconut milk and chocolate chips sit for 2-3 minutes undisturbed.
- Whisk gently until all the chocolate has melted and it is smooth. Whisk in the peanut butter until well incorporated.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the cooled tart shell. Decorate with pretzels and 2 teaspoons of peanut butter (drop about 5 dollops on the surface and very gentry, swirl using the tip of the whisk). Refrigerate for at least 3 hours
