Cacao Coconut Ganache Tart

Desserts, we all love them. They are a big part of the connection between celebration and food. They are also one of the most nutritionally deficient “food” we eat. Think about what goes into a traditional chocolate ganache tart. The filling is dark chocolate and heavy cream. The crust? Artery clogging butter and white flour. Compare that to a tart made from anti oxidant full cacao powder, low glycemic agave and coconut oil with a coconut and almond crust. Huge difference in ingredients. That said, don’t try to convince yourself that this can replace your green smoothies. It is still dessert, just a much healthier version!

    Delicious and simple! I think that I’ll use a bit less sweetener the next time I make it, but this is absolutely a repeatable recipe. Thanks!

    Made this tonight! Very good! I did substitute a vegan dark chocolate bar for the cocao…

    Love your website. Thank you for everything. Instead of agave can Brown Rice Syrup be used? I have run out of agave.

      I don’t work with Brown Rice Syrup as it is not raw. You would have to experiment. Cheers!

    Just starting out on raw foods and looking for desserts beyond fresh fruit. This looks amazing! Shalom

    Looking forward to seeing some dessert recipes using stevia rather than agave 🙂 cancer patients oughtn’t eat sugars…agave is rather high on the glycemic index compared to stevia which is a 0.

    thanks for your great recipes!

      You are probably not going to see recipes with stevia here mostly because I am not a fan of the taste. You are more than welcome to experiment and report back…. 🙂

      I haven’t tried but I can’t come up with a reason why not.
