Flourless & (almost) Sugar Free Chocolate Tart (Gluten Free)

 


Ingredients
120 grams lindt 70% dark chocolate
125grams butter
3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract 


Directions
Grease a cake pan around 20cm wide with melted butter, line with baking paper

Preheat oven to 180°c

Melt chocolate, butter, vanilla & honey together in bowl over pan with hot water, stir until melted

Take off heat and allow to cool slightly

Once a little cool, whisk in eggs one at a time until all combined

Pour mixture in to prepared pan

Bake for approx. 20 mins or until the centre is slightly firm

Top with whatever you have handy, I used some left over lindt to coat strawberries and topped with raspberries too.

I think the cake actually gets nicer when it is cold as it takes on a fudge like consistency so if you like you can leave it in the fridge overnight and serve the next day!

Either way it’s delicious!

"No Nuts Balls" Raw Decadent Chocolate Bliss Balls (Nut Free, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Easy as can be!)

These "No Nuts Ball's" are so delicious! I love how a raw healthy treat can look so cheeky!

This is a really simple recipe which is great to whip up if you have a chocolate craving or if you want to have a little treat for guests post dinner with a cup of tea. As they are nut free they also make a great lunch box treat which is what I have made them for tonight! (Even though I may have eaten a couple... I have to test them first right!?).



Ingredients:
1 cup organic shredded coconut, reserving a little to coat balls at the end
8 medijool dates (seeds removed)
2 tbs chia seeds
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 heaped tablespoon raw cacao powder
a splash of chilled water if you need it

Directions:
Place all of the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and blitz until combined and smooth. If needed add the splash of chilled water.
Then roll into balls, coat in coconut and refrigerate overnight (if you have time, otherwise a couple of hours is fine) and in the morning they will be like beautiful decadent chocolate truffles.

Enjoy!
