Raw Chocolate & Avocado Tart

Aaaahh... the recipe you've all been waiting for! This has got to be the most delicious, decadent tasting chocolate tart around, and not only is it full of antioxidants, good fats and nutrients, but it tastes pretty darn awesome too.

Crust

1 cup organic nuts (I use whatever I have - walnuts, almonds, brazil nuts, cashews or peanuts work well)
1 cup desiccated coconut
1/2 cup dried apricots (soaked in water for 1/2 hour, then drained)
3 medjool dates

Blitz together in a blender till crumbly and finely minced. Put the mixture into a springform tart pan and gently press into the base and sides evenly, using slightly moistened fingertips.

Filling


2-3 ripe avocados
1/2 cup - 2/3 cup raw cacoa powder
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 1/4 cup medjool dates

 Optional extras:

2 tbsp agave syrup
rind of 1 orange

Blend the filling ingredients in a blender till it resembles a mousse in texture and consistency. Scrape the mixture out into the pie base and smooth it down with a spatula, making sure that you don't leave any gaps between the sides of the crust and the filling. Sprinkle with desiccated coconut or fresh berries and chill in the fridge for a couple of hours to firm up.
