Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Silk Tart
Description
The Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Silk Tart begins with a crust made from finely crushed graham crackers mixed with melted coconut oil, pressed into a tart pan, and baked briefly to set a sturdy base. The filling blends silken tofu, almond milk, peanut butter or almond butter, vanilla extract, melted vegan dark chocolate, and a hint of cinnamon into a smooth, creamy mixture using a blender. Once poured into the cooled crust, the tart chills for several hours to firm and develop its texture.
Its texture combines the crunch of the graham cracker crust with the silky, mousse-like filling, which balances the nutty peanut butter with the richness of dark chocolate and a subtle spice from cinnamon. This dessert suits those avoiding dairy while still enjoying a decadent chocolate peanut butter flavor.
The tart can be garnished with additional grated dark chocolate for texture and visual appeal. Chilling time ensures the filling sets properly, allowing clean slices during serving. The use of vegan ingredients throughout provides a dairy-free, egg-free dessert option.
Ingredients
- 16 graham crackers (or GF graham crackers to make this Gluten-Free)
- ½ cup coconut oil (melted)
- 12 ounces silken tofu (a standard-sized block)
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup peanut butter or almond butter
- 2 cups vegan dark chocolate chips (melted, plus additional grated chocolate for garnish - optional)
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F, and make the graham cracker crust. In a food processor or your Vitamix blender, pulverize the graham crackers to a fine crumb. Add in the melted coconut oil and process until thoroughly combined.
- Press the graham cracker mixture into a tart pan, and bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. You can make this ahead and store it in the refrigerator if need be.
- When your crust is cooled, make the filling. Combine the silken tofu, almond milk, peanut butter (or almond butter), vanilla extract, melted chocolate, and cinnamon in a blender and blend until smooth--using a spatula as needed between blends to ensure it’s smooth.
- Pour the filling into your pre-prepared graham cracker crust and chill for 8-24 hours. Top with grated chocolate if desired, slice, and serve!
