Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup vegan butter
  • 1/2 cup Swerve or favorite sugar substitute
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour or preferred type of flour
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 16 ounces dark chocolate chopped
  • 1/2 cup oat milk or preferred plant milk, hot
  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Place butter and sugar in a bowl. Use a stand mixer or hand mixer and beat the mixture until it turns a pale yellow.
  • Add almond extract. Blend for an additional 30 seconds.
  • In a separate bowl, mix salt with the flour. Add this to the butter mixture. Slowly combine until flour is completely incorporated and a dough forms.
  • Divide the dough in half. Put 1/2 of the dough in the freezer. With your hands, press the remaining dough into a 9 1/2-inch tart pan evenly.  Make sure that the dough is not too thick in the center as it will not cook completely if it is.
  • For the filling, add chopped chocolate to the bowl. Pour VERY HOT (but not boiling) plant milk over the chocolate and stir until the chocolate is smooth. Pour chocolate filling over the dough.
  • Take the dough from the freezer and crumble it over the top. Sprinkle with almonds.
  • Bake for about 40 minutes, until golden brown.

Notes

Substitutes

As with most recipes, you may use a different plant milk, if you choose. We usually use oat milk for its creamy texture. But soy milk or cashew milk have given us good results, too.
Prefer fruit over almonds? Just put raspberries, blueberries, or sliced strawberries on top instead. Kiwi works well, too, and makes a beautiful presentation.
You might top with a little vegan whipped cream, too.
