Just when you thought the chocolate orange combination can’t get any better. But it does… with a crunchy oreo base and a decadently smooth coconut + zesty orange filling, this tart pulls out all the stops!
Oh, and it’s a no-bake, nut-allergy friendly and no-roll delight. It’s a sure way to impress your other half, and to treat yourself too this Valentine’s!
INGREDIENTS:
For the base:
-
1 pack oreos
-
1 tbs vegan butter
-
3 tsp cacao powder
For the filling:
-
1 cup full fat coconut milk
-
1 cup orange juice
-
1/2 cup maple syrup
-
1 tbs cornflour
-
2.5 tsp agar
-
zest from 1 orange
-
3/4 tsp turmeric
METHOD:
To make the base
- Whizz the base ingredients up in a blender until combined
- Press the mixture into a 20 cm tart casing until compact and set in the freezer while you make the filling
To make the filling
- Place the turmeric, orange zest and coconut milk in a stove and brew for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until flavours have infused
- Mix together all the other ingredients in a separate bowl, and then slowly add to the zesty coconut milk on low heat
- As the mixture starts to boil and thicken, keep stirring to avoid lumps. It will only need around 3 minutes
- Transfer to a clean bowl and leave the mixture to cool to room temperature
- Once cool, pour the mixture over the base and leave to set in the fridge
- Decorate!
