Best Ever Vegan Chocolate Orange Tart, so Decadent!

Directions

Step 1

To make the Biscuit Base – Put the biscuits into a food processor, or similar, and use the pulse button, or short bursts, until they turn into biscuit crumbs.

Step 2

Melt the vegan butter and add to the biscuit crumbs and blend until thoroughly mixed.

Step 3

Next, line an 8in dish, or cake tin with clingfilm. A ‘springform’ cake tin also works well. And spread the biscuit mixture evenly, to cover the bottom of the dish. Place in the fridge to chill whilst you make the filling.

Step 4

To make the Filling – Place the tofu, golden syrup and orange extract into a bowl, or food processor, and blend to a smooth texture.

Step 5

Using a glass bowl, melt the chocolate in a microwave for 30 seconds at a time, until there are only a few lumps left. Melt the remaining lumps by gently stirring the chocolate with a spatula until it is smooth. Do NOT over microwave as it will burn the chocolate. (Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of water if you prefer).

Step 6

Once the chocolate is melted, add it to the filling mixture and blend until completely mixed in.

Step 7

Next, pour the filling over the biscuit base and spread evenly, leaving a few swirls with your spoon on the top.

Step 8

Place in the fridge for several hours to chill. Please note – chilling time is not included in preparation time.

Step 9

When completely chilled, grate some chocolate over the top and serve with orange segments – optional. See – How to Segment an Orange.
