This Raw Chocolate Cashew Tart has a crunchy almond crust with a rich, creamy cashew-chocolate filling.
As long as you’ve got a blender on hand, this chocolate cashew tart is incredibly simple to make. There’s very little hands-on activity, as most of the time involved is for chilling the tart until it’s firm.
Start off by processing the almonds in a blender until you get a fine almond meal. Transfer the almond meal to a large bowl, add melted coconut oil, and mix well to combine. Firmly press the crust mixture onto the base and sides of a greased tart pan, and place it in the freezer to chill for at least 30 minutes. I’ve used almonds for the tart crust, but if you prefer other types of nuts, feel free to replace the almonds with your nuts of choice.
While the crust is chilling, prepare the filling. Blend the soaked cashews, water, cocoa powder, honey, and melted coconut oil until you have a smooth, creamy mixture. (Scrape down the sides as necessary.) If the mixture is too thick, add one tablespoon of water at a time, until it becomes smooth.

By now, the crust should be firm, so pour the filling over the tart crust. Then all that’s left to do is wait while the filling chills in the refrigerator. Once it’s firm, tuck in and enjoy this amazing chocolate cashew tart!
