I believe that we should eat with a purpose. Now that purpose could be to address a certain concern, or to simply promote long term optimal health, or in fact just for pure, unadulterated enjoyment.

Whatever the reason though there is always a reason.

Now this of course can take an unfortunate turn & become a means of cruelty & control, however in this instance I will not go into this in more detail except to say that if you suspect such a sway in yourself or a loved one then seek help. I am more than happy to advise here so please do be in touch if you need.

Back to today however & my purpose of this post is to delight in dessert because there is definitely space within a bountifully nutritious diet for a little slice of cake every now & again.

As you can see all of the ingredients are very much in their original states, I am relying on their natural flavours & textures, & my goodness it tastes pretty good for it.

Ingredients

For the crust

  • 1 cup gluten free oats
  • 3/4 cup mixed hazelnuts, walnuts & pecans (you can use one but the combination is lovely)
  • 1 teaspoon each Ceylon cinnamon & ground ginger
  • 1/2 cup soft eating dates (you can use Medjool but deglet noir or something similar are perfect)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice

For the filling

  • 170g 90% Ombar chocolate
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons Coyo coconut yoghurt (or another full fat yoghurt)
  • Extra chopped hazelnuts, melted chocolate & orange slices

Preparation

01

Pulse your nuts to a rough chop in a food processor then blend to a smooth dough with the rest of the ingredients. Press into your tart case & chill for at least 30 minutes.

02

Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water then whisk in the coconut yoghurt until smooth, thick & glossy. Spoon into your case, sprinkle with hazelnuts & return to the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

03
