PaleoFLEX™ Turmeric Truffles
By Jess Case
Start by making the crust. No Kitchen Aid necessary—simply use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix the almond flour with cacao powder, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup until a thick dough forms. Use your hands to press it evenly into a springform pan greased with a bit of coconut oil, then bake for just 10 minutes to harden it into the shell you’ll use for the tart.
While the crust cools, make the chocolate ganache filling by gently warming full fat coconut milk over a double boiler. Conversely, you can just microwave it until it just begins to bubble. Once simmering, add chopped dark chocolate and vanilla extract. Let the chocolate sit in the warm milk for five minutes, then whisk it until it’s light and fluffy. Gently pour into the cooled crust and set the tart in the fridge to harden.
Meanwhile, macerate your strawberry slices by sprinkling it with a bit of coconut sugar. This helps draw out the liquids of the fruit, making it irresistibly juicy! Let it sit for a bit, then arrange them artfully over your Paleo-Inspired chocolate tart. If you want, you can experiment with using other berries instead of strawberries. Blackberries, blueberries, or raspberries, or a mix of your favorites, would look (and taste) stunning.
Serve it at a dinner party and watch your guests swoon!
Tip: To take this chocolate tart to the next level, top with a bit of whipped coconut cream or serve with non-dairy ice cream.
