Ingredients

  • crust:
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs

  • 3 tbsp natural sugar
  • 2 tbsp spelt flour

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • juice from half a lemon
  • 2 tbsp non-dairy milk

  • chocolate mousse:
  • 2 medium, ripe avocadoes, pitted and peeled
  • 1/2 cup light agave nectar
  • 1/3 cup non-dairy milk

Preparation

Step 1

For the crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Stir all of the ingredients together except the coconut oil to combine. Add the oil and mix until clumps begin to form. Press firmly into a 10 inch tart pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crust is firm. Set aside.

For the caramel: Place dates in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and simmer until dates are soft, about 10-15 minutes. Drain dates, saving the cooking water.

Place dates and remaining ingredients into food processor and pulse until a puree forms. Add date cooking water if necessary. Scrape caramel into baked and cooled tart shell and spread evenly.

For the mousse: Place everything except the melted chocolate into the food processor. Now’s the time to add some booze if you’re feeling up to it. Turn the processor onto high and puree until mixture is very smooth, about 3-4 minutes. Remove lid and add melted chocolate. Turn to high again until thoroughly combined and smooth. Scrape mousse into tart shell on top of the caramel. Chill the tart for at least 1/2 an hour before serving. Garnish with chopped pretzels or a sprinkle of salt if you like.
