I really do enjoy chocolate just as much as the next gal, and it’s important for me to buy organic, fair-trade and vegan chocolate, which can be very difficult at times.
However, homemade chocolate treats are super easy to make and taste so much better than the store bought, pre-packaged, and processed variety anyways. Don’t you think?
You can do so many things with raw chocolate just eat as is, use it as a pie filling or even a cake frosting.
Ingredients
Yields: 5 delicious tarts
Nut crust
- 1 cup of whole pecans or almonds, soaked for 4 hours (optional)
- 1/2 cup of shredded coconut
- 1/3 cup of coconut oil
Chocolate filling
- 1/2 cup of cacao powder
- 1/4 cup of raw honey, agave, maple syrup
- 1/4 cup of coconut butter or oil
Combine all 3 ingredients of the nut crust in a food processor fitted with the S-blade. Scoop out the crust with a spoon and separate it between 4-5 small tart cups. Press down and place in the freezer while you prepare the chocolate filling.
You will need to melt the coconut butter/oil, if it is not already melted. To keep it raw, either melt it in your dehydrator or in a bowl immersed in warm water. Once the coconut butter/oil is melted, incorporate the cacao powder and honey.
Take the tart crust out of the freezer, and pour the filling into each tart. I had trouble not licking the entire bowl first. Once the tarts are filled with the chocolate, return them to the freezer until they get nice and hard. It could take anywhere form 15 minutes to 1/2 an hour. Take them out of the freezer and make sure to eat them right away because they will begin to melt quickly. You don’t want nut mush and liquid chocolate in your hands?
The chocolate tarts tasted fantastic and turned out perfect. What do you think? A nice chocolate treat? Well, I am now off to make another batch.

Thanks, Amber! Your chocolate cake looks awesome!
Yum! This sounds so good! I’ll be adding this to my Raw Food board on Pinterest.
These look sinfully delicious! Thanks for sharing!
The chocolate filling gets even better if you mix a ripe, mashed avocado into it.
yummy!
Somethings missing!
1/2 cacao powder-1/2 cup?
1/4 coconut butter or oil-1/4 cup?
Sounds yummy!
Oops, thanks Susan!

I’m with Christine – your photography is stunning!!! They look amazing and the recipe looks awesome. My son has never had chocolate and I think this might be his first taste! Nice job
Thanks! Little E has had chocolate but it has always been raw unsweetened and I add honey or dates to sweeten it. It tastes so different from store bought chocolate. So much better!
These look fantastic!

Oh my these sound soooo good! Thanks for linking up to Healthy 2Day Wednesday!
you think you could replace the agave, honey or maple syrup with stevia, my friends on a candida diet and im trying to find something she can have for dessert!!
Probably. You could try it. You might need to add something to thicken it like avocado or banana. Not sure if you can have those on candida diet.
Hi
Have you tried doing the recipe as a single larger pie/tart ?
If people really want it with a true raw sweetener then raw honey is the only one to use. Easy to “grow” your own (keep a hive).
Just shared on FB
. Nice recipe!
