Do you live a healthy life and get asked by people if this is boring? Are family and friends afraid to come over for dinner because they know you do eat very healthy? I promise you when you serve them this Raw Chocolate Ganache Tarte they will never ask you that question again. Once in a while we all need to indulge in some sweet treat. This Raw Chocolate Ganache Tarte is easy to prepare and has only a bit of coconut flower sugar in it.
I was surprised how easy it is to make this tarte and you will be too. No baking, nothing very complicated but you only mix some ingredients. Those ingredients are perfect to make people happy. Who does not love nuts and chocolate? I served this cake to friends who are not the biggest fans of healthy food and now they beg to come over for dinner.
The Raw Chocolate Ganache Tarte is perfect for a fancy birthday dinner or even Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Happiness is a piece of cake or in this case a piece of tarte. You will feel pure happiness when eating the tarte.
You can vary the nuts you use for the tarte. I have not tried but could imagine that using sunflower seeds and sunflower butter would work for a nut free version of this Raw Chocolate Ganache Tarte. I vary with nuts and nut butter, depending on the flavor I want and the season. Further I sometimes add different spices to the nuts like cinnamon, clove or even chili. You could also add those to the chocolate ganache but since the chocolate taste is very strong it is hard to overcome. And actually who does not want that delicious taste of chocolate?
The Raw Chocolate Ganache Tarte is perfect for a fancy birthday dinner or even Thanksgiving or Christmas.
While writing down the text I am thinking it would also taste amazing to put some raspberries into the Ganache or Cacao Nibs. With all the chocolate you are also adding happiness to your life with increasing the serotonin level in your blood. Raw chocolate also adds antioxidants that support the health of your heart. Chocolate has way more flavonoids than an apple. If this is not a great excuse to eat more chocolate I do not know.
Your first slice will not be your last. This will be one of your favorite desserts since the Raw Chocolate Ganache Tarte is easy to make.

Instructions
- For the crust on low-medium speed mix the nuts in your blender. Add the melted coconut oil and then slowly drizzle the water in. You should receive a fine but still crumbly texture.
