Ingredients

CHOCOLATE CRUST
1 cup almonds (ground)
3/4 cup dates (pitted)
1/4 cup cacao powder
1/4 cup cacao nibs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
FILLING
2 1/2 cups cashews
1 cup lightly packed mint leaves
1 cup water
1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons agave
5-8 drops mint essential oil (or to taste)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
3 tablespoons cacao butter (melted)
2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)

Recipe Directions

CHOCOLATE CRUST

1. In a food processor, mix ingredients into a moist dough that presses together easily.

2. Add 1-2 teaspoons water if needed.

3. Press the mixture into a 6" tart pan. Set aside.

FILLING

4. In a blender, combine all, but the butter and oil, until smooth and creamy.

5. Start with less mint essential oil, as it is very strong!

6. Now add the last 2 ingredients and blend to incorporate.

7. Taste the mixture--add more mint oil if needed (or mint leaves).

8. Spread the filling into the chocolate crust.

9. Chill it in the fridge or freezer for at least 6 hours, or until it is slightly firm to the touch.

10. Garnish the tart with fresh mint leaves, cacao nibs, and/or cacao powder.

RawGuru's Thoughts

By RawGuru

Fresh mint makes the best desserts!

This tart incorporates a chocolate nut crust with a silky green mint cream filling.
