This Healthy Chocolate Orange Tart is a rich yet wholesome dessert made with a nut and oat crust, filled with creamy dark chocolate and bright orange zest. Naturally sweetened and dairy-free, it’s perfect for guilt-free indulgence.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup almond flour or ground almonds
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • Pinch of salt
  • 7 oz dark chocolate (70% or higher), chopped
  • 3/4 cup coconut cream (or full-fat coconut milk)
  • 1 tbsp orange zest
  • 2 tbsp fresh orange juice
  • 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional garnish: orange zest curls, shaved dark chocolate, sea salt flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Pulse oats in a food processor until finely ground. Add almond flour, cocoa powder, salt, coconut oil, and maple syrup. Blend until combined.
  3. Press crust mixture into a 9-inch tart pan. Bake for 10–12 minutes, then cool completely.
  4. Heat coconut cream in a saucepan until just simmering. Pour over chopped chocolate in a bowl. Let sit 1 minute, then stir until smooth.
  5. Stir in orange zest, orange juice, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract.
  6. Pour filling into cooled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for 2–3 hours or until set.
  7. Before serving, garnish with orange zest, chocolate shavings, or sea salt if desired.

Notes

  • Add espresso powder to deepen the chocolate flavor.
  • Use sunflower seed meal for a nut-free crust.
  • Blend the filling for extra silkiness.
  • Add orange liqueur for a grown-up version.
  • Skip baking for a no-bake version—just chill the crust until firm.
