Ingredients
  

For the tart crust
  • 150 g gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 30 g unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 100 g vegan butter (chilled)
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
For the ganaches
  • 180 g vegan white chocolate
  • 240 g coconut cream or chilled full-fat coconut milk
  • 20 fresh mint leaves
  • 150 g vegan dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa)
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 30 g vegan white chocolate (melted, optional)
  • 30 g vegan dark chocolate (melted, optional)
  • Fresh leaves fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Method
 

Prepare the tart crust
  1. Preheat the oven to fan-forced 320°F (conventional 356°F) and grease the tart tin, dusting it with cocoa powder.
  2. In a food processor, combine gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, chilled vegan butter, maple syrup, and sea salt. Blitz until a dough forms, then chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  3. Roll out the chilled dough and press it into the prepared tart tin. Poke it with a fork.
  4. Bake the crust covered with parchment paper and weights for 12 minutes, then remove the weights and bake for another 10-12 minutes.
Prepare the white chocolate ganache
  1. Melt vegan white chocolate with coconut cream over a gentle bain-marie.
  2. Add fresh mint leaves, blitz, and strain out the leaves.
  3. Pour the mixture into the tart crust and freeze for 2 hours.
Prepare the dark chocolate ganache
  1. Melt vegan dark chocolate with coconut cream, stir in maple syrup and vanilla extract.
  2. Let cool slightly before pouring over the mint layer. Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
Garnish and Serve
  1. Swirl melted white and dark chocolate around the edges, adding chocolate shavings and fresh mint leaves on top.
  2. Slice and serve with coconut whipped cream or tea.

Notes

Let the tart crust cool completely before adding the ganache layers for better structure. Consider swapping mint for fresh basil or lavender for variations.
