![]() To avoid this, take a fork and pierce several holes into the base and sides of the crust, this will ensure an evenly baked base. Pierce the dough: When the tart is baking in the oven, air can build up between the crust and the tart shell, causing the crust to rise and bake unevenly.This will prevent the crust from getting stuck on the sides and cracking. Grease your tart tin: If like me you're all about that easy life, then do yourself a favor and grease the bottom and sides of the tart shell.Use a tart tin with a removable base: I've learned this the hard way, and believe me, the last thing you want is to be standing there trying to figure out how to get your perfectly decorated tart out of a tart shell with no removable base.Timing is also important, keep a close eye on the crust, it will take anything from 10-12 minutes to bake, a minute too long and you could end up with a burnt appearance/taste. Oven temperature and timing: The key to the perfect crust is to make sure that the oven temperature is set at no more than 180☌ (350☏).They add color, flavor, and texture to the top of the tart. Freeze-dried raspberries: These are optional but highly recommend for adding to the tart.Forest fruits: To garnish the tart, use any berries or forest fruits of your choice.I recommend using anything from 70-90%, depending on the level of sweetness you would like. Dark chocolate: Dairy-free dark chocolate gives the chocolate ganache a wonderful rich flavor.This is what creates a creamy chocolate ganache, that sets perfectly. Coconut milk: Thick full-fat canned coconut milk is refrigerated overnight in order to separate the cream (the part you want for this recipe) from the water.Vanilla extract: A touch of vanilla is added to both the ganache and jelly layers for extra flavor.It's a cruelty-free alternative to animal-based gelatine which is made from the skin, ligaments, and bones of cows or pigs. Agar-agar: This acts as the setting agent for the jelly which is derived from red algae.You can use other berries of your choice here as well such as blackberries, strawberries, or blackcurrants. Fresh or frozen cherries and raspberries: Personally, I prefer to use frozen berries as they have a stronger flavor and are available all year round.Sea salt: A touch of salt helps to enhance the flavors of the tart crust while also helping to marry all the flavors together.Pure maple syrup: This is used to sweeten the base of the crust, you could also use agave syrup.Coconut oil: The crust needs fat in order not to dry it out and bind the dough together.Cacao powder: For a chocolatey base, cacao powder is added to the crust. ![]() ![]() Almond flour: For the crust of the tart, almond flour gives a delicious nutty flavor while keeping the tart gluten-free.The silky, chocolate ganache layer is made using dark chocolate and coconut milk, making it dairy-free and easy to make! Pin Ingredients needed The cherry raspberry jelly can be made using frozen fruits and can be interchanged for different berries or currants of your choice. The crust is made using almond flour and is completely gluten-free. ![]() I wanted this recipe to be a delicious treat that everyone could enjoy over the holidays. It uses the same tart crust (if it ain't broke don't fix it!), a variation of the dark chocolate ganache, and a cherry raspberry jelly in place of the white chocolate mint layer. If you like my Mint Chocolate Tart that I uploaded last week, this recipe is a variation on it. I loved that combo so much that it was a staple, if it wasn't included we were all missing out, right? Some things never change, and years later it's still one of my favorite flavor combinations. One combination that always made it to the holiday table was chocolate and cherries (think black forest cheesecake). I would get so excited about creating and showcasing so many different flavors and textures that everyone would usually end up with a trio of different sweets on their plate: hence why I called it the dessert menu! Growing up, I would always take on the task of creating the "dessert menu" when it came to Christmas dinner. ![]()
