Description

This Vegan Gingerbread Chocolate Tart combines the warmth of gingerbread spices with the richness of dark chocolate, creating a dessert that’s both indulgent and festive. The spiced crust is made from a blend of flour, molasses, and warming spices, while the filling is a luscious chocolate ganache infused with ginger and a hint of molasses.


Ingredients

Scale

Crust:
150 g (1 ⅕ cups) plain flour (use gluten-free all-purpose flour if required)
100 g (3.5 oz) vegan butter (use nut-free brand if required)
60 g (3 tablespoons) molasses
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon allspice
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon orange zest (optional)
Filling:
170 g (6 oz) dark chocolate
350 g (12.3 oz) chilled full-fat canned coconut milk or coconut cream
60 g (3 tablespoons) pure maple syrup
20 g (1 tablespoon) molasses
1 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch of sea salt
Toppings:
¼ batch vegan gingerbread cookies
60 g pomegranate seeds (optional)


Instructions

Crust:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Lightly grease the base and sides of a 9″ tart tin with oil or vegan butter. You can also line the base with parchment paper for easier removal.
Add all crust ingredients to a food processor and blend until the mixture forms a dough. If the mixture is too dry, add a tablespoon of water to help it stick together.
Press the dough evenly into the base and sides of the tart tin. Use a fork to prick several holes into the base.
Bake the crust for 12 minutes, or until slightly browned. Allow it to cool completely in the tin.
Filling: 5. Heat the coconut milk in a saucepan until it begins to simmer, but do not let it boil. 6. Finely chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heat-resistant bowl. 7. Pour the hot coconut milk over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then, whisk until the mixture is smooth. 8. Stir in the maple syrup, molasses, ground ginger, and a pinch of sea salt until evenly combined. 9. Pour the chocolate ganache into the cooled tart crust. Gently tap the tart tin on your work surface to remove any air bubbles. 10. Let the tart cool for 10 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
Garnish: 11. Once set, carefully remove the tart from the tin and place it on a serving dish. 12. Garnish with vegan gingerbread cookies, pomegranate seeds, and fresh rosemary.
Storage:
Store the tart in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
To freeze, slice the tart into individual portions, wrap each slice in cling film, and store in an airtight container. Freeze for up to 4-6 weeks. Defrost for 1-2 hours before serving.
