  1. Form the Crust: Press the almond mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to press it firmly and evenly. Poke a few holes in the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.
  2. Bake the Crust: Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
  3. Prepare the Chocolate Filling: In a saucepan, heat the coconut milk over medium heat until it just starts to simmer (don’t let it boil). Remove from heat, add the chopped dark chocolate, and let it sit for a minute to melt.
  4. Mix the Filling: Stir the chocolate and coconut milk until smooth and glossy. Add maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, stirring until fully combined.
  5. Fill the Tart: Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled almond crust, spreading it out evenly.
  6. Chill the Tart: Place the tart in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is set and firm.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Once set, top with fresh berries, nuts, or chocolate shavings. Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature.

This vegan chocolate tart with almond crust is a beautifully rich dessert that’s both elegant and easy to make, with a silky chocolate filling and a crunchy, slightly sweet crust. Enjoy!
