{recipe} Mint Chocolate Tart

This refreshing, tasty-looking recipe comes to us from the lovely Heather Pace.

INGREDIENTS (FOR CRUST)

• 1 cup almonds, ground
• 3/4 cup pitted, packed dates
• 1/4 cup cacao powder
• 1/4 cup cacao nibs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS (FOR CRUST)

• In a food processor, mix ingredients into a moist dough that presses together easily. Add 1-2 teaspoons water if needed.
• Press the mixture into a 6″ tart pan. Set aside.

INGREDIENTS (FOR FILLING)

• 2 1/2 cups cashews
• 1 cup lightly packed mint leaves
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons agave
• 5-8 drops mint essential oil, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• Pinch of Himalayan salt
• 3 tablespoons cacao butter
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

INSTRUCTIONS (FOR FILLING)

• In a blender, combine all but the butter and oil until smooth and creamy.
• Start with less mint essential oil, as it is very strong!
• Now add the last 2 ingredients and blend to incorporate.
• Taste the mixture – add more mint oil if needed (or mint leaves).

Note: You can sub mint extract for the mint oil if necessary.
