Healthy Dark Chocolate Peppermint Tart
Ingredients
Base:
- 1 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats (blended to a flour)
- 48g (1½ scoops) Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
- ⅛ tsp Salt
- 105g (5 tbs) Brown Rice Syrup
- 28g (2 tbs) Coconut Oil (melted)
- ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
- ½ tsp Liquid Stevia Extract
- ¼ tsp Natural Butter Flavor (optional)
Filling:
- 1 cup - 1 tbs Light Coconut Milk (canned)
- ¼ cup Coconut Sugar (or sweetener of choice)
- 3 tbs Agave Nectar
- 5 oz 100% Cacao Unsweetened Chocolate
- 45 drops Liquid Stevia Extract
- ½ tsp Peppermint Flavor
Instructions
For the Base:
- In a large bowl, stir together the oat flour, protein powder, and salt.
- Add the brown rice syrup, coconut oil, and extracts. Stir together until the mixture is even.
- Roll the dough in between two silicone baking mats or sheets of parchment paper until ½" thick. Carefully flip the rolled out dough into your tart pan (I used a 4.25" x 13.75" tart pan). Refrigerate while you make the filling.
For the Filling:
- In a small saucepan, add the coconut milk, coconut sugar, and agave. Place over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the chocolate to the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir constantly. When the chocolate is fully melted, remove from the heat and whisk in the stevia and peppermint flavor.
- Take the crust out of the fridge and pour in the chocolate filling. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
