Vegan olive oil cocoa tart with apricot jam

Written by Veronica Lavenia

The olive oil pastry doesn’t need to stand in the refrigerator (but if you want you can do it) and it has noble healthy fats. The result is a  delicious and crunchy texture.

Cocoa, a natural thickener, is the perfect ingredient to form a delicious, compact eggs free tart with a crisp first layer of dark chocolate and a topping of creamy homemade apricot jam.

Ingredients

For the Pastry

  • 75 ml mild EVOO
  • 100 g Coconut sugar or Muscovado sugar
  • 300 g wholemeal Kamut flour
  • 1 tsp organic baking powder
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder

For the Chocolate Filling

  • 300 g ripe apricots
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Method:
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

For the pastry:

  1. Knead the oil with the sugar. Add the remaining ingredients, working the dough until soft but firm.
  2. Roll out the dough on a baking pan with a removable bottom and form small holes with a fork. Bake for 15–20 minutes.

For the jam:

  1. Wash the apricots and cook them with the lemon juice until you have reached a creamy consistency. Once cooked, blend the jam and let cool.
  2. In a thick-bottomed saucepan, melt the chocolate.
  3. Once out of the oven, pour the melted chocolate over the tart and then pour over the jam.
