Methodology

  • STEP 1

    Un-roll the pastry sheet onto a evenly floured floor, combine the cocoa powder and icing sugar collectively. Use a sieve to sprinkle everywhere in the pastry sheet, then fold in half like a e book and chill for 15 minutes. On a evenly floured floor, roll the pastry sheet right into a barely bigger rectangle, large enough to line a 20cm tart tin. Line the tin, leaving any overhanging pastry – you'll trim this away as soon as the tart is baked. Chill for 30 minutes on a baking tray. Warmth oven to 200C/180C fan/fuel 6.

  • STEP 2

    Line the pastry with greaseproof paper and fill with baking beans. Bake for 15-20 minutes, then take away the paper and beans and bake for 15 minutes extra, till cooked by. Take away from the oven and depart the case to chill in its tin, then trim the perimeters.

  • STEP 3

    Whereas the pastry is cooling, make the date caramel. Heat the coconut milk till steaming, then pour 120ml of the coconut milk over the dates. Soak for five minutes then tip right into a meals processor with the vanilla extract and an enormous pinch of flaky salt. Blitz till clean. Unfold the caramel onto the bottom of the tart and put within the fridge for 30 minutes to set a bit of.

  • STEP 4

    To make the ganache topping, warmth the remaining coconut milk over a low warmth till steaming. Put the chocolate and coconut oil in a big bowl and pour the nice and cozy coconut milk excessive. Depart to sit down for a minute, then gently stir till mixed. Spoon the combination over the caramel and unfold it out – don’t fear if the caramel comes up the perimeters a bit. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and depart to set within the fridge for about an hour, then convey to room temperature earlier than slicing and serving.
