Mint chocolate tart made with vegan white chocolate, gluten-free cocoa crust, and fresh mint layers.

# Ingredients:

→ Crust

01 - 150 g gluten-free all-purpose flour
02 - 30 g unsweetened cocoa powder
03 - 100 g vegan butter, chilled
04 - 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
05 - 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

→ Mint Ganache

06 - 180 g vegan white chocolate
07 - 240 g coconut cream or chilled full-fat coconut milk
08 - 20 fresh mint leaves

→ Chocolate Ganache

09 - 150 g vegan dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa)
10 - 240 g coconut cream or chilled full-fat coconut milk
11 - 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
12 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Garnish (Optional)

13 - 30 g vegan white chocolate, melted
14 - 30 g vegan dark chocolate, melted
15 - Fresh mint leaves

# Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 160°C (fan-forced) or 180°C (conventional). Lightly grease a 9-inch tart tin with oil or vegan butter, and dust with cocoa powder.
02 - Add flour, cocoa powder, butter, maple syrup, and salt to a food processor. Blitz until a loose dough forms. Shape into a ball, flatten into a disc, wrap in clingfilm, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
03 - Roll the chilled dough into a circle slightly larger than the tart tin. Gently press into the tin, trim edges, and pierce the base with a fork.
04 - Place a parchment paper circle onto the pastry and fill with baking beads or dry beans. Parbake for 12 minutes. Remove beans and bake for another 10-12 minutes until crisp.
05 - Melt white chocolate and coconut cream in a bain-marie, stirring frequently. Blend with mint leaves until smooth, strain out mint specks, and pour into the crust. Freeze for 2 hours to set.
06 - Melt dark chocolate and coconut cream in a bain-marie. Stir in maple syrup and vanilla extract. Allow to cool for 15 minutes, then stir until smooth.
07 - Pour the chocolate ganache on top of the set mint ganache. Tap the tart tin gently to remove air bubbles. Chill in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight until fully set.
08 - Swirl melted white and dark chocolate on the edges, and top with shaved chocolate and fresh mint leaves before serving.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Use fresh mint for natural flavor and vibrant color. Allow proper chilling time to ensure clean layers.
