Recipe for Vegan Peppermint Tart

To prepare a delicious vegan peppermint tart, several ingredients are required. The list includes one package of Gullon sugar-free crackers, two cans of coconut cream, two pieces of Aero dark chocolate, three bars of Canderel Dark and Mint chocolate (of which 2 and a half bars need to be cut and the remaining half grated), and 500 ml of vegan whipping cream.

Preparation Method

The coconut cream should be poured into a medium saucepan and heated until hot, but not boiling. Then, reduce the heat to a minimum and add the chopped Aero chocolate and the chopped dark peppermint chocolate. The chocolate will begin to melt. Turn off the heat and gently stir the mixture until it is completely combined. Then, remove it from the heat and let it cool; to speed up the process, you can place it in the refrigerator. It is best to prepare this dessert the day before.

While the chocolate glaze is cooling, the cream needs to be whipped to a consistency that is thick but still pourable. If the cream is unsweetened, it should be sweetened with your chosen sweetener. When the chocolate glaze has cooled and thickened, you can start layering the tart.

About a quarter cup of the chocolate glaze is poured into a bowl to cover the bottom. Then, a little of the whipped cream is added and mixed in. One layer of crackers covered with the chocolate-cream glaze is placed on this layer. Next comes a generous layer of chocolate glaze, followed by a layer of cream. Another layer of crackers is added. The process continues until all the crackers are used, and the final layer must consist of chocolate glaze.

The remaining cream is whipped to stiff peaks for the finishing layer. It is spread over the tart and then sprinkled with grated dark mint chocolate. The tart must be left in the refrigerator for several hours, preferably overnight. Mint leaves are used for decoration.
