Equipment
Ingredients
- 3.5 ounces unsweetened almond milk
- 3.5 ounces coconut cream
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 7 ounces 50% dark chocolate chopped
- 1 8-inch vegan pie crust
Instructions
- Bring the milk to a boil. Add the almond milk and coconut milk to a saucepan and heat it over medium heat. Once it has reached a simmer, turn off the heat.
- Add the chocolate. Add the chopped chocolate to the hot milk and whisk until it is completely melted and fully combined with the milk. The texture should be silky smooth.
- Fill the pie crust. Pour the chocolate ganache into your baked pie crust. Gently wiggle the pie plate on your counter to remove the possible air bubbles.
- Chill. Finally, let the ganache tart cool down for 15 minutes at room temperature before chilling in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours. The ganache will set and become firmer.
- Enjoy chilled with a drizzle of caramel sauce or topped with fresh berries! This chocolate tart will keep for up to 6 days in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Pass through a sieve. If you want the silkiest texture and minimal air bubbles, pass the ganache through a fine sieve mesh.
- Use quality dark chocolate. Since chocolate is one of the main ingredients of the ganache, you want to use high-quality dark chocolate to get the best flavor. While I recommend using 50% dark chocolate, you can use 60 or 70% for a more intense chocolate flavor. Be aware, though, that you might have to add 2-3 tablespoons of sugar to make up for the lack of sweetness.
- Flavor the ganache. You can flavor the ganache by adding orange or lime zest, spices like cinnamon or cardamom, or extracts like vanilla or caramel extract. You can even replace 2-3 tablespoons of the milk with your favorite liqueur!
