Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

  • 1 ¼ cups oats
  • ¾ cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • ¼ cup agave
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste double the amount if using vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

For the Filling:

  • ¾ cup pistachio paste
  • 6 oz. dark chocolate
  • 1 13.5 oz. can coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup agave
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste double the amount if using vanilla extract
  • Sea salt to taste
  • ¼ cup roughly chopped pistachios

Instructions
 

For the Crust:

  • Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Prepare a 9 or 10 inch tart pan with a removable base. Cut out parchment paper to fit the bottom of the pan and place it inside. I like to spray the bottom with cooking spray and place the parchment on top so it sticks.
  • Place all ingredients for the crust into the bowl of a food processor. Run until uniformly combined and sticky, scraping the sides and bottom if necessary. You will still see oat flecks in the mixture.
  • Press mixture evenly into the tart pan on the bottom and up the sides.
  • Bake for 18-20 min, until lightly golden. Let cool completely before adding any filling.

For the Filling:

  • Spread the pistachio paste evenly onto the bottom of the tart. Place into the refrigerator while the chocolate filling is made.
  • In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the coconut milk and coconut oil and set over medium-high heat, whisking to combine evenly. Bring to a simmer, then turn off the heat and add the dark chocolate, cocoa powder, agave, and vanilla bean paste. Let sit for 2 minutes, undisturbed, then whisk to combine until smooth. Season with sea salt, to taste (I like it decently salty).
  • Pour into the tart shell on top of the pistachio paste. Pour anything leftover into ramekins or small bowls and eat with whipped cream, if desired.
  • Let tart chill for at least 3 hours in the refrigerator before topping with pistachios. Sprinkle with pistachios in any pattern you’d like (you can make a ring around the outer edge, cover the entire surface with pistachios, etc.).
  • Remove from tart pan, cut into slices and serve.
