    chocolate cardamom tart with a slice

    These rich and creamy cardamom chocolate tarts are no bake and dairy free, and simple to make in a blender with a creamy 3-ingredient fudgy filling and a crust that tastes like a chocolate cookie.

    chocolate cardamom tart with a slice

    These cardamon chocolate tarts are a mini fun size, and make the perfect make-ahead dessert or brunch option. Like my vegan chocolate cream pie and my chocolate peanut butter pie, the crust tastes like a cookie and the filling is only a handful of wholesome ingredients.

    Why You'll Love These

    Small personal tarts. This recipes makes 4 mini tarts, or personal sized. They are about 4 inches across and about an inch deep. They are elegant and fun to serve as personal desserts during a dinner party or holiday gathering, a brunch or just for fun.

    Exotic flavor of cardamom. The addition of exotic cardamom spice sets this tart apart, with the sweet spice supporting the flavor of chocolate. Baking with cardamom, as in my chocolate cardamom cake, brings to the baked good a wonderfully unusual dusty sort of minty flavor. And cardamom is incredibly healthy, even the little amount added to the batter.

    Easy tarts made in under an hour. These tarts are easy to make in under half an hour. Just mix up the crust, chill while blending the filling, pour and enjoy!

    Ingredients

    Crust

    • rolled oats
    • oat flour
    • maple syrup
    • cocoa powder
    • coconut oil

    Filling

    • coconut milk
    • chocolate chips
    • ground cardamom

    Step by Step Instructions

    Step 1: Chill cans of coconut milk in refrigerator overnight so the solid cream separates from the liquid.
    On tart-making day, sit the jar of coconut oil in a pot of boiling water to loosen it to measure it out if it is hard as a rock.
    Grease lightly the inside of the mini tart pans or cupcake pans.

    Step 2: Blend up crust ingredients in a food processor or blender. 

    Step 3: Press the crust mixture into the bottom of tart pans or cupcake pans. Freeze the crust for one hour so that you can then pop the crust intact out of the tart molds and fill them. (After that they can be refrigerated). Once crusts are hard enough in the freezer to be popped out out of the pans and not broken, pop them out, and put them on a rack in the refrigerator while you go make the filling.

    Step 4: Open chilled coconut milk cans, drain the milk and reserve in the refrigerator for smoothies. Spoon the solid coconut cream into a pyrex glass measuring cup sitting in a boiling water bath or heat in microwave for 30 seconds. Add in the chocolate and keep stirring until all the chocolate is melted. You can microwave mixture another 15 seconds if all chips aren’t melted.

    Step 5: Fill the crusts and refrigerate to set about 30 minutes.

    Recipe Tips

    1. Chill the coconut milk cans in the refrigerator so the fat separates from the liquid. You want the solid layer for this recipe. The milk can be refrigerated or frozen to be added to smoothies such as this chocolate smoothie.

    2. Pour the tart filling into the crusts very fast as once the warm filling touches the cold crust it will begin to solidify.

    3. This recipe creates 4 (4-inch) tarts. You can either use the tart pans I linked to in my recipe at the bottom of this post, or use a different mold. Your choices are cupcake pans, greased or lined, or silicon cups.

    Storage

    Enjoy immediately, or keep refrigerated sealed in airtight container for up to 2-3 days.

    FAQS

    Can This Be Made Ahead?

    Yes! I have made them three days ahead of an event and just kept them refrigerated. I haven't tried to freeze them; not sure what the texture would be once thawed.
