Avocado Chocolate Tart Recipe

This Avocado tart Recipe is so smooth, creamy and rich in flavor! It takes a little more time than most of the recipes to prepare, but trust me when I say it is worth every second.  The ingredients in this recipe are so diverse and unique it truly makes this recipe one of a kind. My neighbor has this avocado tree that is so fruitful (yes avocado is a fruit) and it is always dropping avocados over the fence into my yard, so I decided to make the most of it and make these delicious tarts! The crust is so different than most tarts, this calls for unsweetened coconut and dates..that alone is amazing in itself.  Soaking the dates was a little time consuming, so in the meantime I gathered all the ingredients I needed and measured out the salt, the maple syrup, and  the cocoa powder while the dates I had previously pitted were soaking. Also, I went ahead and prepared the avocado and took out the refrigerated coconut cream and separated the liquid. By then, 20 minutes had passed and I was ready to get the ball rolling!

After preparing the crust and filling, I refrigerated it for four hours and allowed it to chill (you may want to chill it for another hour or so depending on your refrigerator settings). I chose to have this recipe as  a dessert, but you can eat these any time of day! These tarts were absolutely DIVINE! I could taste the maple syrup, the cocoa, the dates, the coconut and a tad bit of the avocado. I topped it with some fresh coconut whipped cream and fresh figs, it was so mouth watering and satisfied my sweet tooth. All the flavors went so well together...I was on cloud 9! This was perfect for a hot summer day, so cool and refreshing and sinfully delicious. They are really impressive to look at as well and pleasing to the eye especially topped with the whipped cream and dates. It adds that extra class if you are looking to entertain guests while serving these.  They are just the right size to serve at business functions or even at birthday parties! I hope you LOVE this recipe as much as I did and step outside of the box a little and try this unique tart recipe and share with your friends and family.  

Avocado Chocolate Tart Recipe

Avocado Chocolate Tart Recipe Ingredients

Crust:
1.5 cups fine, unsweetened coconut
1.5 to 2 cups pitted dates (soaked for about 20 minutes in hot water)

Filling:
4 medium to large perfectly ripe avocados (remove pit and scoop out of the peel)
1 cup pitted dates (soaked for about 20 minutes)
¾ cup cocoa or cacao powder
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
dash of fine Himalayan salt
solid coconut cream from two cans (refrigerate overnight, separate the liquid, use the solid in this recipe and safe the liquid for another uses such as smoothies).

Avocado Chocolate Tart Recipe Directions

Crust:

Start by removing the pits and soaking the dates for the crust in hot water.

Drain after 20 minutes and add to the food processor along with the coconut. 

Pulse until you have a well combined mixture that is starting to crumble.  (The first time I made this I used the blender-that made more of a paste like consistency, still quite tasty, but not quite the crisp crust some might be looking for).

Line a tart pan with plastic wrap and then press the mixture in evenly and with firm pressure. Cover and let chill while you make the rest of the tart.

Filling:

Soak your pitted dates for about 20 minutes, just as before. Then drain and place in the blender or mixer along with the rest of the ingredients. Blend or mix until completely smooth and creamy. 

Pour this mixture into the chilled tart crust and return to the refrigerator. 

Chill for at least 4 hours before planning to slice and serve.

I topped the tart with a little bit of fresh coconut whipped cream and fresh figs. This kept well for a few days while staying chilled, though it was best the same day it was made.
