NO BAKE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE TART
- 75g ground almonds
- 75g desiccated coconut
- 3 tbsp cocoa
- 75g butter, melted
For the filling:
- 230g dark chocolate (preferably 70% cocoa solids)
- ½ tsp instant coffee
- 1 tbsp hot water
- 250ml cream
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 large egg
- toasted flaked almonds to decorate (optional)
- cocoa powder for dusting (optional)
1.) Grease a 24cm pie dish. Combine the ground almonds, coconut and cocoa in a bowl. Add the melted butter and mix well. Press the mixture into the pie dish and pop in the fridge while you make the filling.
2.) Melt the dark chocolate. Mix the instant coffee with the hot water to dissolve. Add the coffee to the chocolate and whisk (the mixture will seize a little but don’t worry!). Set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
3.) Whisk the cream until stiff and set aside.
4.) Add the egg yolks and egg to the chocolate mixture. Give the mixture a good whisk until glossy and smooth. Fold the cream into the mixture.
YUM! I will try this immediately. So much deliciousness xx

Hi Kgomotso, you could make a biscuit base instead. Replace the almonds and coconut with crushed biscuits (tennis biscuits are perfect) and you'll have a delicious base that's perfect for this tart. 🙂
