Techniques That Make This Dessert Exceptional
1. The Perfect Gluten-Free Tart Crust
Instead of a traditional shortcrust pastry, this tart base is made with gluten-free flour, coconut oil, and maple syrup, ensuring a crisp, delicate texture without any gluten. Chilling the dough before baking helps it hold its shape and prevents cracking.
2. The Ultimate Dairy-Free Ganache
A rich, creamy ganache is the heart of these tarts. Instead of heavy cream, this recipe uses coconut cream, which blends beautifully with Pascha 70% or 85% Dark Chocolate Chips, creating a silky, melt-in-your-mouth consistency.
3. Achieving a Glossy, Professional Finish
To get a smooth, shiny ganache, let the warm coconut cream melt the chocolate gradually, stirring gently until fully combined. Pour the ganache into the tart shells while still warm for a flawless, even surface.
