Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 6 oz OliveNation milk chocolate couverture chips
• 2 cups almond flour
• ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
• 6 oz OliveNation semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 6 oz dairy-free heavy cream (or regular)
• OliveNation Valentine’s Heart sprinkles for decoration

Creating the Perfect Crust

Melt Chocolate and Coconut Oil

Start by grabbing a medium bowl. Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil inside. Then, microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each round. You want it to be fully melted and smooth—this is key for a tasty base!

Combine with Almond Flour

Next, it’s time to mix! Add the almond flour and sea salt to the melted chocolate and coconut oil. Stir until a cohesive dough forms. You’ll know it’s ready when it holds together nicely.

Press into Mini Pans

Now comes the fun part! Take your dough and firmly press it into mini tart pans. It’s important to create an even layer to achieve that perfect texture.

Chill to Set

Once your crusts are ready, pop them into the freezer for 20-30 minutes. This will help them firm up nicely. You want a solid foundation for your luscious ganache!

Making the Delicious Ganache

Heat the Heavy Cream

Grab a small saucepan and heat the dairy-free heavy cream over medium heat. Keep an eye on it until you see bubbles forming around the edges, but don’t let it boil! This step is crucial to making a smooth ganache.

Pour Cream Over Chocolate

In a medium bowl, place the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Pour the hot cream over them and let it sit undisturbed for about 3 minutes. This will melt the chocolate thoroughly, setting you up for a smooth and glossy texture.

Stir to Combine

Finally, whisk the mixture together until it’s glossy and homogenous. This rich chocolate ganache is what will coat your tart crust beautifully!

Assemble the Tart

Fill Crust with Ganache

Using a ⅓ cup measure, pour the ganache into the chilled tart crusts. Be careful not to overfill; you want just the right amount.

Add Sprinkles

Let’s make this tart look extra special! Decorate the top with OliveNation Valentine’s Heart sprinkles. They add a wonderful touch of color and fun!

Chill Before Serving

Now, you’ll want to refrigerate the tarts for at least 2 hours. This waiting game allows the ganache to set properly, making each slice a perfect work of art.

Serving Suggestions

When it’s time to serve, consider adding a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. Fresh berries can also provide a burst of flavor and color that complements the rich chocolate nicely. Serve it up and watch everyone enjoy!

Tips for Success

• Make sure the chocolate is completely melted before combining with almond flour. This helps prevent a grainy texture.
• If using regular heavy cream, check that it’s at room temperature before mixing for best results.
• Customize the sprinkles or decorations according to the event. It’s a nice way to add your personal flair!

Variations

Feel free to get creative! You can experiment with different types of chocolate, such as dark or white chocolate. Each option will bring its own unique flavor profile. Additionally, swapping the almond flour for graham cracker crumbs can give another delightful twist to the crust!

Storage Tips

If you happen to have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, consider wrapping the tart tightly in plastic wrap and freezing it. You can then enjoy this tasty treat even later!

FAQs

1. Can I use a different flour for the crust?
Of course! You can substitute almond flour with gluten-free flour or even graham cracker crumbs.
