Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 1 ½ cups almond flour
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
• 3 tablespoons honey
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
• 2 tablespoons honey (for ganache)
• 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, honey, and salt. Stir until well combined.
3. Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together.
4. Press the dough into a tart pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Prick the bottom with a fork.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.
6. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add dried lavender, allowing it to steep for 10 minutes.
7. Strain the cream through a fine mesh sieve to remove the lavender flowers, returning the cream to the saucepan.
8. Add the chopped dark chocolate and honey to the warm cream, whisking until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.
9. Pour the ganache into the cooled almond tart shell, smoothing the top with a spatula.
10. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the ganache is set. Serve chilled.

Notes

Tip: For a gorgeous presentation, garnish with fresh lavender and a drizzle of honey before serving.

For the best results, use culinary-grade lavender to ensure the flavor is safe for consumption. If you prefer a less floral taste, reduce the amount of lavender or steep it for a shorter time.

This tart can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Serve it chilled or at room temperature, and consider garnishing with fresh lavender sprigs or edible flowers for an extra touch of beauty.
