Tart Crust
  • Combine all of the ingredients in a stand mixer until it comes together in a solid ball. 
  • Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.

  • Line the tart tin with baking parchment and fill with ceramic baking beans or dried beans.
  • Chill for 30 minutes then bake at 350°F (177°C) for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

 

Itakuja Ganache Filling

  • Heat the coconut cream and honey until almost boiling.
  • Gradually pour the cream over the melted Itakuja and mix to combine.
  • Finish with an immersion blender. 

 

Vegan Meringue Topping (optional)

  • Whip the acquafaba on medium high speed.
  • Once it starts to foam gradually add the sugar and cream of tartar.
  • Continue whipping until stiff peaks. 
 

ASSEMBLY AND FINISHING

  • Once the tart shell cools, pour in the ganache.
  • Chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Top with vegan meringue and garnish with passion fruit pulp to highlight the passion fruit flavors in the Itakuja 55% chocolate.
