Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Chop up and melt the cocoa butter. You can
melt directly in a small sauce pan over a low
heat or in the microwave. Once melted remove
the cocoa butter from the heat. To make raw
chocolate, melt the cocoa butter slowly over a
water bath (see notes).
2. When the cocoa butter has fully melted, stir in
the cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla, sea salt
and any additional flavours you want to add.
3. Whisk everything completely until there are
no remaining lumps of cocoa powder and the
honey has dissolved into the chocolate mixture.

Notes
Instead of vanilla extract you can use peppermint, orange, almond, coffee extract,
etc.
Melt over a water bath: Place the cocoa butter in a medium sized heat safe bowl.
Place the bowl over a small pot of simmer water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl
doesn't touch the water. Let sit and stir occasionally until fully melted.

4. To the bowl of a food processor, add oats and coconut and process until finely
ground. Add almond flour, cocoa powder, oat flour, brown rice flour, and salt and
process to combine thoroughly. Drizzle in melted coconut oil and process until the
coconut oil is evenly distributed. Add maple syrup and vanilla and process until
mixture forms a ball. Set aside for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the flours to absorb the
moisture. Remove dough from food processor and squeeze together into a ball.
5. With clean, dry hands, press crust evenly into prepared tart pan about ¼-inch

Instructions for the Raspberry & White Chocolate Filling
6. To a small pot, add almond milk and agar flakes and whisk to combine. Bring up
to a simmer over high heat, whisking constantly. Cover pot, reduce heat to low,
and simmer for 10 minutes, or until agar is completely dissolved. Remove from
heat, stir in cacao butter, cover again, and set aside for 10 minutes or until all
the cacao butter has melted. Whisk well and set aside uncovered to cool for 5
minutes.
7. Spread raspberry preserves evenly over the bottom of the baked crust and set
aside.
8. Pour milk and cacao butter mixture into an upright blender. Add raspberries,
maple syrup, and vanilla and blend until completely smooth, scraping sides of the
blender as necessary. Pour this mixture into the baked crust and allow to cool for
15 minutes before transferring to the refrigerator to chill for 2 to 3 hours or until
completely cold and set—you can also leave it in the fridge overnight.
9. To serve, remove the sides of the tart pan and place the tart on a plate. Add a few
freeze-dried raspberries to a fine strainer. Holding the strainer over the chilled tart,
rub the raspberries back and forth to create a fine dust. Repeat until the surface
is covered in a light coating of raspberry dust. Slice with a clean, sharp knife and
serve. Any remaining tart will keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
