This no-bake, 5-ingredient Vegan Chocolate Tart is made with my homemade gluten-free, flourless Oreos – though if you fancy the easier option, use shop-bought chocolate cookies to make your biscuit base. A crispy, buttery chocolate cookie pie crust loaded with a creamy chocolate tofu filling. The filling contains just 3 ingredients, and is packed with protein, it’s awesome!
If you’re not baking the cookies, then this dessert is a completely no-bake pudding – it just needs to be chilled in the fridge or freezer for a couple of hours. The only cooking you’ll do is melting chocolate so all in all, a pretty quick and simple recipe that’s easy to put together.
By the way, my gluten-free oreo recipe is in my free ebook, which you can get if your subscribe to my blog. I’ve not yet put it up on my website, so in the mean time you can get it from there. On another note, please bear in mind that regular shop-bought oreos are not gluten-free.
Why is this Good for Me?
- Tofu is a great source of protein, exhibiting all 9 amino acids, which makes it a complete protein. Another bonus is that it contains no saturated fat (pretty much no fat actually) and offers a range of minerals too, such as calcium, iron and zinc.
- Dark chocolate contains flavanols which exhibit anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. They have the ability to inhibit free radicals, which are unstable molecules or elements that can harm our bodies. However, be aware of the sugar content in chocolate, which can vary between brands.
- Coconut oil contains polyphenol antioxidants. In moderation it is a suitable alternative to butter. Be aware that it is also a saturated fat, so although it is stable at high temperatures for cooking, it should be consumed in small quantities.
Questions about Vegan Chocolate Tart
How to make Vegan Chocolate Tart
To make Vegan Chocolate Tart crush the biscuits into fine crumbs then transfer to a bowl. Add melted coconut oil to the cookie crumbs then press into a greased spongiform tin, creating edges that curve up so that it is more like a pie crust rather than a flat cheesecake base.
Use the flat base of a cup to press the crumbs down and pack more tightly to get a dense and sturdy crust that doesn’t crumble away when cut into later. Place in the freezer whilst preparing the filling. Add plant milk to the chocolate and heat either in a double boiler or microwave until melted, around 2-3 minutes. In a blender, add the silken tofu and blitz until smooth and no lumps remain.
Pour the melted chocolate into the blender with the tofu and blitz again into a smooth chocolate cream. Remove base from freezer and pour in the chocolate tofu cream filling. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
Homemade chocolate tart not hardening
If the biscuit base is still crumbly, it could be that there was not enough oil to bind the cookie crumbs. If the filling is too runny, it’s likely that it needs more time for chilling. To speed things up a little, it can be chilled in the freezer rather than the fridge.
