Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 1 ½ cups raw almonds, walnuts, or pecans
  • ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 10 medjool dates pits removed
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

For the Filling

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 12-ounce package silken tofu drained
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup raspberries, sliced strawberries, or chopped peanuts for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Make the Crust: Place all of the crust ingredients into a food processor fitted with an s-blade. Process until the mixture looks crumbly, like cookie crumbs.
  • Take a bit of the crumb mixture and press it firmly into the bottom and sides of your mini tart pan or cupcake pan. A rubber spatula or a piece of wax paper will help keep the mixture from sticking to your hands. Repeat with the other sections of the pan. Set aside.
  • Make the Filling: Fill a small saucepan with water and place on the stove over medium heat. Place the chocolate chips in another small saucepan or heat-proof bowl, and place on top of the water filled pan. Stir until the chocolate melts, being careful not to let it burn.
  • Place the melted chocolate into a food processor fitted with an s-blade, along with the tofu, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Process until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides, if necessary.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared crusts. Refrigerate for until the filling is firm, at least two hours.
  • Carefully lift the mini tarts out the pan, using a small butter knife if needed. Garnish with raspberries, sliced strawberries, or chopped peanuts, if using.
  • Refrigerate any unused tarts in an air-tight container for up to 3 days. They can be frozen for up to a month.
