The Food at My Table: Sweets
Ingredients
Base
200g almond meal
50g white rice flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
50mL rice bran oil
1 egg, whisked
1/3 cup rice syrup
Filling
2 avocados, flesh only (about 1 cup)
½ cup cocoa powder
½ cup rice syrup
Method
Base
Combine almond meal, white rice flour and cocoa powder.
Add rice bran oil, egg and rice syrup.
Mix thoroughly and form into a wet ball.
Roll out and line a tart tin (fills a medium tart tin).
Bake at 180 degrees for about 15-20 minutes (until cooked). You can blind bake or prick holes in the base before cooking.
Put aside to cool.
Handy Hint
Use 2 sheets of baking paper to roll out the dough and extra white rice flour if necessary to stop the mix sticking to the baking paper.
Filling
Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender.
They must be blended thoroughly. Taste after blending and add more cocoa and/or sweetener if the avocado flavour is still evident.
Transfer into the base and spread evenly.
Either cool in the fridge or freeze. I like to eat this tart best semi-frozen so I remove the tart from the freezer in advance to partially thaw.
Vegan Base Option
Ingredients
100g almond meal
¼ cup cocoa powder
½ cup rice syrup
¼ cup nut butter
¼ tsp vanilla extract
Method
Mix all ingredients together and roll out into a sheet about 10mm thick between baking paper or simply press into a tart tin lined with baking paper. Fill tart base with chocolate avocado filling.
Variations
Add ½ tsp tangelo zest to filling.
Add fruit or nuts.
