Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg yolk
1-2 tablespoons cold water
1 cup dark chocolate (70% cacao), chopped
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons matcha powder
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup coconut milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 can coconut cream, chilled
2 tablespoons maple syrup
A pinch of sea salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. Add softened butter and egg yolk, mixing until crumbly. Gradually add cold water until a dough forms.
Press the dough into a tart pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Prick with a fork and chill for 15 minutes.
Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes until set. Allow it to cool completely.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt dark chocolate with heavy cream, stirring until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and mix in matcha powder and vanilla extract.
Pour the chocolate matcha mixture into the cooled tart crust and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
While the tart sets, prepare the coconut whipped cream. Scoop the solid part from the chilled coconut cream into a bowl, add maple syrup and whip until fluffy and creamy.
Once the tart is set, spread or dollop the coconut whipped cream on top. Garnish with a dusting of matcha powder if desired, and serve cold.

Notes

Tip: For a richer flavor, use a higher percentage of dark chocolate. Ensure the coconut cream is well-chilled for the best whipped texture.

For a vegan option, ensure to use dairy-free chocolate and coconut cream. If you don’t have matcha powder, you can substitute it with cocoa powder, but the vibrant green color and unique flavor will be missed.

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to three days. The tart can also be made a day in advance, making it a great option for entertaining!
