Chocolate Raspberry Ganache Tart (Vegan Gluten-Free)

This Chocolate Raspberry Ganache Tart is the best chocolatey dessert. A no-bake cacao biscuity base topped with fresh raspberries and filled with a rich 2-ingredient chocolate ganache filling. Top with more raspberries for a delicious vegan, gluten-free and wholesome dessert.

I love chocolate desserts (as you may already know) as does my mum, so when thinking of Mother’s Day desserts, naturally I thought about a chocolatey one. From cakes to cupcakes, cookies and muffins, there are so many chocolate recipes already but one I had not yet made was a ganache tart and this one is packed with juicy raspberries to celebrate spring.

This ganache tart is amazing, it’s:

If you already love the sound of this Chocolate Raspberry Ganache Tart then read on for the recipe card below, or let’s first discuss the recipe in more detail.

What ingredients do I need?

The recipe is divided into three parts: the tart base or case; the rich filling; then the toppings.

For the base we need:

• Dates: these add the sweetness and stickiness to the tart base. My favourite variety is medjool dates as they are sweet and jammy but you can use other dried dates, too. We soak them in boiling water to make them easier to blend.
• Oats: add a wholesome goodness to the base and when blitzed up form a fine flour like texture.
• Hazelnuts: my favourite nut for the base is hazelnuts as they go so well with chocolate but other nuts like cashews, almonds or pecans would be amazing as would pumpkin or sunflower seeds for a nut-free option. You could swap these for more oats, too.
• Cocoa powder: to make the base nice and chocolatey.
• Coconut oil: this helps the tart base to set crisp enough to hold itself together but still with a softness.
• Salt: to bring together all the flavours.

Onto the 2-ingredient ganache:

• Dark chocolate: I used a delicious raspberry dark chocolate from Divine chocolate which adds to the chocolate-raspberry combination but ant dark chocolate will work. I prefer the richness of dark chocolate but dairy-free milk chocolate will also work.
• Coconut cream: to achieve the best coconut cream, chill 2 tins of full-fat (importantly it has to be full-fat) coconut milk in the fridge overnight. When you’re ready, scoop off the solid part of the tin which is the cream. Save the water/milk for smoothies and curries.
• Raspberries: place the raspberries directly onto the tart base before pouring over the chocolate ganache.

Finally, onto the fillings:

• Extra raspberries: are a must for a pop of colour and fruitiness.
• Dairy-free whipped cream: this adds a lightness to the otherwise rich tart. I like coconut whipping cream, oat whipping cream or Elmlea have a plant-based option too. Or, you can use thick coconut yoghurt, too.
• Chopped chocolate: for a little bit more chocolate.

How do I make this Chocolate Raspberry Ganache Tart?

It may look impressive, but this dessert is so easy to make:

• Soak the dates for the base: so they are soft.
• Blitz the oats and nuts: to a fine meal for the base.
• Blend together all the base ingredients: to a sticky mix.
• Press down into a tart tin: and work your way up the sides and the base.
• Chop the chocolate very small: this means it will melt more quickly, easily and evenly.
• Warm the coconut cream: till just warm enough but not boiling.
• Pour the cream over the chocolate: and wait 5 minutes before whisking until smooth.
• Place the raspberries over the base: in a circle pattern.
• Pour the ganache over the raspberries and the base: to fill the tart case.
• Chill for 3 to 4 hours or overnight: till set and firm to touch.
• Decorate the tart as you please: with whipped cream, raspberries and chocolate.
• Slice and serve: enjoy!

Is this dessert gluten-free and nut-free?

Make sure your oats are certified gluten-free to keep this dessert GF-friendly and for a nut-free option, swap the nuts in the base for seeds or more oats. Also check that your chocolate is free from nuts.

Can I use other fruits?

Yes, if you don’t have raspberries, try strawberries, blackberries or blueberries instead.

How long will this Chocolate Raspberry Ganache Tart keep?

Not long if you are in my house, but it will last for 5-7 days in the fridge in a sealed container and for up to 1 month in the freezer.
