Indulge in a healthy dessert with our gluten-free sweet potato tart topped with chocolate avocado mousse. A guilt-free treat that's rich in nutrients.
Ingredients
- • sweet potato: 1 medium, peeled and cubed
- • rolled oats: 1 cup (gluten-free)
- • almond flour: 1/2 cup
- • maple syrup: 1/4 cup
- • coconut oil: 1/4 cup, melted
- • sea salt: 1/2 tsp
- • ripe avocados: 2 medium
- • unsweetened cocoa powder: 1/3 cup
- • vanilla extract: 1 tsp
- • dark chocolate chips: 1/4 cup (dairy-free if vegan)
- • almond milk: 1/4 cup (unsweetened)
- • honey: 2 tbsp (or agave syrup for vegan)
- • fresh berries: for garnish (optional)
- • toasted almond slices: for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 Steam the cubed sweet potato until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Allow it to cool slightly.
- 3 In a food processor, blend the oats into a fine flour. Add almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and sea salt. Pulse until the mixture forms a sticky dough.
- 4 Press the dough evenly into a greased tart pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Let it cool completely.
- 5 For the mousse, scoop the flesh of the avocados into a blender. Add the cooled sweet potato, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, dark chocolate chips, almond milk, and honey. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- 6 Pour the mousse over the cooled tart crust, spreading it evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
- 7 Before serving, garnish with fresh berries and toasted almond slices if desired.
Serving Suggestions
- • This tart pairs beautifully with a side of fresh, seasonal berries, enhancing its natural sweetness and adding a pop of color. Consider serving it with a dollop of coconut whipped cream for an extra layer of indulgence without the guilt. For a refreshing beverage, a glass of iced herbal tea with a hint of mint or lemon complements the rich flavors of the tart. If you're hosting a dinner party, a light, sparkling water infused with citrus slices can also be a delightful accompaniment.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To maintain the mousse's creamy texture, avoid freezing the tart. If you plan to make this dessert ahead of time, prepare the crust and mousse separately and assemble them a few hours before serving.
