Anyone whose tried this tart absolutely loves it, so I knew I had to make a new version and somehow add these beautiful organic Driscoll berries, while keeping it dairy-free, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free. 

While picking up my weekly groceries at Sprouts Farmers Market I got inspired by Driscoll’s fresh berries and knew I needed to create this deliciously decadent beauty. It has everything I love in a perfect dessert. A flaky gluten-free hazelnut & oat crust topped with a layer of pure berry heaven which adds an amazing fruity sweetness to the rich chocolate cheesecake layer.

Thanks to sprouts’s fresh berry sale I was able to snag a few more and use them as garnish as well. I absolutely love shopping at Sprouts. It is my go to Grocery Store and no matter what day I go, there will be an amazing sale with affordable prices for lots of my go-to products.

Plus as a gluten-free, dairy-free and, refined sugar-free foodie I always find that Sprouts Farmers Market is able to provide for my dietary needs. The market offers a variety of wholesome produce and foods that I can use in my day to day cooking.

A rich and creamy vegan berry chocolate tart with a gluten-free crust, a deliciously fruity berry layer and topped with fresh berries for an easy but impressive and decadent dessert.

Ingredients

Crust

  • ½ cup raw hazelnuts
  • 1 ½ cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 5 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp raw cacao powder

Berry Layer

  • 1 cup organic Driscoll’s raspberries
  • 1 cup organic Driscoll’s blackberries
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp agar agar powder

Chocolate Layer

  • 1 cup raw organic cashews, soaked overnight or 4 hours minimum
  • ½ cup cashew milk (sub with any other plant-based milk)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips, stevia sweetened & vegan
  • ¼ cup organic coconut oil, melted
  • ¼ cup organic coconut cream
  • ¼ cup organic maple syrup

Instructions

    1.) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8-inch tart pan with coconut oil and set aside.

    2.) For the crust add 1½ cups of oats and ½ cup of hazelnuts into a food processor. Pulse until ground, then add 1 tbsp of cacao powder, 2 tbsp of maple syrup and 5 tbsp of melted coconut oil. Process into a moist mixture. Firmly press dough into the tart and press up on the sides as well. Bake for about 10-15 minutes until the crust appears golden brown. Let sit for about 5-10 minutes and then transfer onto a cooling rack.

    3.) For the berry layer, add 1 cup of blackberries, 1 cup of raspberries, ¼ cup of water and 2 tbsp of maple syrup in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes until berries are soft and broken down.

    4.) Remove from heat, puree with a hand mixer and put back on the stove. Add 1 tsp of agar agar powder into the berry mixture and simmer for another 5 minutes over low-medium heat, whisking continuously. Let sit for about 5 minutes, then pour onto the crust. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes.

    5.) In the meantime prepare the chocolate filling. Heat ½ cup of cashew milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Turn heat to low and add 1 cup of chocolate chips. Stir until chocolate has completely melted and set aside to cool.

    6.) In a high speed blender add 1 cup of soaked cashews, ¼ cup of melted coconut oil, ¼ cup of coconut cream, ¼ cup of maple syrup and the chocolate milk mixture. Blend for about 5-10 minutes until completely smooth.

    7.) Pour chocolate cashew mixture on top of the berry layer and refrigerate for about 3-4 hours or freeze for 1-2 hours until tart has fully set.

    8.) Garnish with fresh berries and Enjoy. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
