Black Forest Tart

Instructions

  1. Crust:
  2. For the crust, add hazelnuts into a food processor or high-speed blender and pulse for a few seconds to get smaller pieces.
  3. Add oats, drained almond pulp, cocoa powder, maple syrup and coconut oil. Process for a few seconds until you get a moist crumbly mixture. Scrap down the sides (if necessary) to help the dough come together. If the mixture doesn’t start to form a dough, you can add another tablespoon of melted coconut oil.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C.
  5. Firmly and evenly press the dough in bottom and up the sides of a greased tart pan.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
  7. Cherry Kirsch Layer:
  8. Add cherries, cherry juice and agar agar powder to a sauce pan and stir until the agar agar powder has completely dissolved.
  9. Heat up the mixture and let simmer on medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes.
  10. Take it off the stove and stir in up to 4 tablespoons of cherry brandy (optional). For a light cherry brandy taste, I recommend 2 tablespoons; if you want a stronger flavor, I recommend 4 tablespoons.
  11. Allow the cherry filling to cool down for 20 minutes, then pour into the prepared tart crust.
  12. Refrigerate for 2 hours until the cherry layer becomes firm.
  13. Chocolate Mousse Layer:
  14. Melt the chocolate over hot water.
  15. Add all the melted chocolate, drained silken tofu, maple syrup and melted coconut oil to your blender. Mix until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides with a spatula in between.
  16. Carefully spread the chocolate mousse on the firm cherry layer and allow it to set in the fridge for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  17. Serve:
  18. Top with vegan whipped cream, cherries, & dark chocolate shavings.
  19. ENJOY & store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days.

    Disappointed results

    The results are not what are showed. It's watering.

    Very disappointed.

    Don’t Hesitate!!!

    I have had my system since the beginning of COVID and have never regretted my purchase. I have 3 auto immune diseases. MCS multiple chemical sensitivity along with celiac disease so to make my own nut milk with a few organic ingredients is awesome. You won’t regret it!

    Easiest Way to make Healthiest Milks

    This machine has been the best investment in maintaining good health. The fresh almond milk is DELICIOUS - VERY EASY to make and the pulp, I love to add chia seeds and frozen raspberries - leave overnight and it's a fantastic breakfast the next day. The craftsmanship of the Almond Cow is the highest quality and I know it'll last the rest of my life! It also looks nice in my kitchen.

    Great decision

    This product has many fantastic reviews. It is a bit expensive, but takes all of the work out of making nut milk. I made two jugs of milk (12 cups) in about 20 minutes. The clean-up is simple. And best. I have the nut pulp to add to my breakfast shake. Love it.
