Vegan Chocolate Raspberry Tart Recipe

(Serves 8–10 | 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom)

Crust Ingredients:

1½ cups (150g) almond flour (or all-purpose flour for a more traditional crust)
¼ cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup (50g) coconut sugar or brown sugar
⅓ cup (75g) melted vegan butter or coconut oil
Pinch of salt

Chocolate Filling:

12 oz (340g) high-quality vegan dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher), chopped
1 can (400ml) full-fat coconut milk
2 tbsp maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt

For Topping:

Fresh raspberries (about 1–1½ cups)
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Optional: edible flowers, pomegranate seeds, or shaved chocolate

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Make the crust: In a bowl, stir together almond flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Add melted vegan butter/oil and mix until it resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Bake for 12–15 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
Make the filling: Place chopped chocolate in a heat-safe bowl. Heat the coconut milk in a small saucepan (or microwave) until just simmering — do not boil. Pour over the chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes. Whisk until completely smooth and glossy. Stir in maple syrup, vanilla, and salt.
Assemble: Pour the warm chocolate filling into the cooled crust and gently smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until fully set.
Serve: Just before serving, dust the top lightly with cocoa powder and arrange fresh raspberries on top. Slice with a sharp knife (warm it under hot water and wipe clean between cuts for neat slices).

Storage: Keeps covered in the fridge for 5–6 days. Can be frozen (without raspberries) for up to 1 month — thaw overnight in the fridge.

Pro Tips

Best chocolate: Use a good-quality vegan dark chocolate — it makes all the difference in flavor and texture.
Gluten-free version: The almond flour crust is naturally gluten-free.
Nut-free crust: Swap almond flour for 1½ cups all-purpose flour + 2 tbsp ground flaxseed.
Extra richness: Stir 1 tbsp coconut oil or cacao butter into the filling for an even silkier finish.
Variations: Try strawberries, blackberries, or a mix of berries. For a touch of orange, add ½ tsp orange zest to the filling.
