Desserts, we all love them. They are a big part of the connection between celebration and food. They are also one of the most nutritionally deficient “food” we eat. Think about what goes into a traditional chocolate ganache tart. The filling is dark chocolate and heavy cream. The crust? Artery clogging butter and white flour. Compare that to a tart made from anti oxidant full cacao powder, low glycemic agave and coconut oil with a coconut and almond crust. Huge difference in ingredients. That said, don’t try to convince yourself that this can replace your green smoothies. It is still dessert, just a much healthier version!

Chocolate (Cacao) Coconut Ganache Tart
Crust:
- 1 C Dried, unsweetened coconut
- 1/3 C Coconut Oil
- 1/2 C Soaked Almonds (soak at least 4 hours)
Combine all ingredients in food processor, pat into two 4″ tart pans and refrigerate.
Filling
- 1/2 C Cacao Powder
- 1/2 C Agave
- 1/4 C Coconut Oil
Melt coconut oil over hot water or in the dehydrator (if you are using it) Whisk together cacao powder, coconut oil and agave. Pour into tart shells and refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

That is interesting. They do look the same but NONE of the ingredients are the same. I actually developed this recipe quite a while ago but hadn’t published it. Interesting!
