    delicious Gluten Free Vegan Chocolate Tart with Tahini and Caramel

    Baking with Gluten Free Flour

    I grew up on weird flours, my health nut mama always stashing bags of buckwheat and whole wheat in the freezer so they wouldn't spoil in the hot SoCal climate. I wasn't a fan at the time, but fast forward a couple of decades to when I published an entire cookbook all about wacky gluten free flours.

    If you ask any cookbook author about their book making experience, you'll see their eyes shift. Staring off into the middle distance, a haggard look will overtake their face, shellshocked like a battle-scarred war veteran or parent of a newborn. I'm no different. I became an absolute crazy person while working on Alternative Baker. To stay on schedule, I had to develop and shoot 3 recipes per week in addition to other work. Gluten free baking recipes with uncommon flours often required four or five recipe tests. Add to that grocery shopping, dish washing, writing, sending the recipes out for testing by a kind army of volunteers, and hand weighing each flour to ensure accuracy, and I barely had time to be a person.

    Gluten Free Vegan Chocolate Dessert Ingredients

    While making my book, I prioritized my life like so:

    1. Work
    2. Exercise
    3. Friends and family in need (i.e. anyone going through a traumatic divorce, suffering from debilitating anxiety, grieving the loss of a loved one, sick, etc.)

    If you didn't fit into those three categories, I didn't see you for that year of my life.

    Halfway through maniacally testing recipes for my book, it dawned on me that different flour brands grind their flours in different ways, and this affects the outcomes of recipes in a big way. I decided to standardize the recipes and test all that I could with Bob's Red Mill flours. This would have been a great point at which to ask my publisher for an extension as I had to go back and reformulate a handful of recipes I'd developed with random bulk-bin flours. But instead I soldiered on down the road to becoming a zombie shell of a person, albeit a well-fed one.

    Though the process was grueling, I never lost my love for baking (though I did lose my sweet tooth for a good few months there). And while I don't know if or when I'll be ready to make another book, for now I'm thrilled to partner with Bob's Red Mill. This year I'll be bringing you a series of gluten free recipes featuring their gluten free flours and my favorite ways to use them.

    pressing down Gluten Free Vegan Almond Flour Tart Crust

    Blanched Almond Flour

    During this process, I got to know Bob's Red Mill flours very well. One of my favorites is their blanched almond flour, which is fairly finely ground with a bit of nubby texture. If you're wondering about the difference between almond meal and almond flour, in the case of Bob's, almond meal is made from almonds with their skins still on while the almond flour is made from blanched, skinless almonds. I generally prefer using blanched almond flour to meal, as its ivory hue makes for prettier baked goods but the two can usually be used interchangeably.

    Since almond flour is naturally high in fat and protein, it produces tender baked goods that hold together well. I use Bob's blanched almond flour in many different gluten free baking recipes, including:

    • gluten free financiers aka individual brown butter cakes (kumquat black sesame, poppyseed pluot)
    • gluten free madeleines (get the recipe in Alternative Baker!)
    • gluten free polvorones
    • gluten free cheesecake crust
    • gluten free fruit crisp topping
    • gluten free sweet tart crusts (citrus ricotta, ginger fig, poached pear, raspberry mascarpone, lemon pomegranate)

    Gluten Free Vegan Almond Flour Tart Crust

    The Easiest Gluten Free Almond Flour Tart Crust

    Almond flour helps to create an easy, press-in tart crust that tastes like shortbread cookies. When combined with sweet rice flour, tapioca flour, and a third flour – oat flour for a vanilla crust or, here, cocoa powder for a chocolate crust – along with sugar, salt, vanilla, and butter, it forms a crumbly dough. Just press this into a lightly greased tart pan, chill briefly, bake, and press down with the back of a spoon, and you have a no-fuss tart crust. While most traditional tart crust recipes have you soften the butter only to chill the dough, then roll it out and shape it, then chill again, then bake with pie weights, this crust comes together with much more ease.

    No matter how exciting the filling is on any given tart that I make, the crust always gets the most comments! It's slightly sweet with a good dose of salt. The texture melts in your mouth just like a shortbread cookie. The chocolate version has a deep, dark cocoa flavor, perfect for chocolate lovers

    Gluten Free + Vegan Tart Crust

    To make my gluten free almond flour crust vegan, I simply swap in vegan butter in place of dairy butter. I especially love Miyoko's cultured vegan butter, which is made from coconut and cashews. The culturing process gives it a rich, tangy flavor.

    Is Almond Flour Gluten-Free?

    Bob's is! Almonds don't contain gluten, but at other processing plants, the nuts could be processed on equipment that also processes wheat. But you can rest assured that Bob's almond flour is always 100% gluten-free, and so are many of their other flours including their sweet rice and tapioca flours used here.

    Whipped Coconut Cream

    Almond Flour Nutrition

    Aside from being DELICIOUS, this gluten free flour is high in nutrients such as:

    • protein
    • vitamins B and E
    • minerals, particularly calcium in levels nearly as high as in milk
    • fiber
    • healthy fats

    Tahini Vegan Chocolate Truffle Filling

    This tart filling is essentially a bittersweet chocolate truffle or vegan chocolate ganache. Hot coconut milk melts chopped chocolate, thickened with sesame tahini and sweetened with a touch of maple syrup. You can either pour the warm filling into the waiting crust for a smooth top, or let it cool until firm enough to hold a shape and swirl it into the crust for a bit of texture.

    Vegan Caramel Sauce

    This tart is topped with a luscious vegan caramel sauce made extra thick from a spoonful of tahini. I've adapted the base recipe from Glow Pops by Liz Moody, which I previously used in these delicious vegan chocolate popsicles. Just combine coconut sugar and coconut milk, simmer until thick and darkened in color, and stir in tahini and vegan butter. You'll want to take a bath in the resulting vegan caramel sauce!

    Coconut Whipped Cream

    The icing on this, er, tart is a billow of whipped coconut cream. Be sure to chill the can overnight so the solids separate from the liquid, then whip the coconut cream with a touch of powdered sugar and vanilla until it holds firm peaks.

    Vegan Chocolate Pie vs. Tart

    I like to make this dessert in a tart pan with a loose bottom, which makes the tart easy to slice and plate. But if you don't have one, turn this into a vegan chocolate pie by simply forming the crust in a pie pan and proceeding with the recipe. It may be a bit messier to remove the first few pieces from the pan, but it will still work beautifully!

    Prep Time: 30 minutes
    Cook Time: 45 minutes
    Cooling Time: 2 hours
    Total: 3 hours 15 minutes
    Servings: 12 to 16 servings

    Ingredients

    Crust:

    • 1/2 cup (80 g) Bob’s Red Mill sweet white rice flour (or cassava flour)
    • 1/2 cup (60 g) Bob’s Red Mill blanched almond flour (or hazelnut flour)
    • 1/2 cup (45 g) cocoa powder (preferably dutch-process)
    • 2 tablespoons (12 g) Bob’s Red Mill tapioca flour (or arrowroot flour)
    • 1/4 cup (50 g) organic granulated cane sugar
    • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
    • 6 tablespoons (85 g) cold vegan butter (such as Miyoko’s), diced into 1⁄2” cubes
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 ounces (55 g) dark chocolate, finely chopped

    Filling:

    • 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate (preferably 65% cacao mass), roughly chopped
    • ½ cup (130 g) tahini
    • 3 tablespoons (58 g) maple syrup (more or less according to how sweet your chocolate is)
    • 1 cup (222 g) well-shaken full-fat coconut milk
    • 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt

    Caramel Sauce:

    • Remaining coconut milk from above (¾ cup / 175 ml)
    • ¼ cup (35 g) coconut sugar
    • 1 tablespoon vegan butter or coconut oil
    • 2 tablespoons tahini
    • Big pinch fine sea salt
    • ¼ teaspoon vanilla paste or extract

    Whipped Coconut Cream:

    • 1 (400 ml) can coconut cream, chilled overnight
    • ¼ cup (35) powdered sugar, sifted if lumpy
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
    • Flaky salt and chopped chocolate, for sprinkling

    Instructions

    Crust:

    • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350ºF. Spray a loose-bottom, 9-inch round tart pan lightly with cooking spray and set aside.
    • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the sweet rice and almond flours with the cocoa powder, tapioca starch, sugar and salt. Scatter the butter pieces over the top and drizzle with the vanilla extract. Turn the mixer to medium-low and run until the dough comes together in clumps and the butter is worked through, 3–5 minutes. (It will seem as though the dough won’t come together, but don’t worry – it will!)
    • Dump about half of the crumbs into the prepared pan and press evenly into the sides of the pan. Add the remaining crumbs and press evenly into the bottom – it usually takes me about 10 minutes to make it look pretty.
    • Place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any drips and bake until slightly puffed and firm to the touch, 20-25 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven and, while it’s still hot, press the sides and bottom with the back of a spoon. This will help it hold together when cool. While the crust is still hot, scatter the chocolate in the bottom and let sit a few moments to melt. Use the back of a spoon or an offset spatula to spread the chocolate over the bottom and sides of the crust. Let cool completely.

    Filling:

    • Place the chocolate and tahini in a medium-sized heatproof bowl and set aside. In a small saucepan, combine the maple, coconut milk, and salt. Place over medium heat and bring to just below a simmer. Pour the hot coconut milk over the chocolate and tahini. Stir until melted and smooth. You can either pour the warm filling directly into the baked tart shell. Or chill the filling for about 20 minutes, stirring every five minutes or so, until cool enough to hold a shape, then spread evenly into the baked tart shell. Chill until set, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.

    Caramel:

    • In a small saucepan, combine the remaining coconut milk and coconut sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Lower to maintain a gentle simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened and darkened in color, 5-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vegan butter, tahini, salt, and vanilla. Use warm or chill until needed; rewarm to serve.

    Whipped Coconut Cream:

    • Remove the chilled can from the refrigerator. Open the can from the bottom and pour off all the watery liquid that should had separated. Scoop out the solidified cream into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Whip on high speed until fluffy and thick, 1-2 minutes. Chill if not using right away.

    Finish:

    • Remove the sides from the tart pan and use a small, offset spatula to release the tart from the bottom of the pan. Place on a serving platter or cutting board. Swirl the whipped coconut cream over the top of the tart and drizzle and swirl with some of the caramel. Top with chopped chocolate and flaky salt, passing more caramel sauce at the table.
    • Extra tart will keep well, covered and refrigerated, for up to 3 days.

    Notes

    Make ahead:
    • The crust can be frozen airtight (baked or unbaked) for up to 1 month.
    • The crust with filling keeps well, refrigerated airtight, for 1-2 days.
    • The caramel can be made up to 1 week in advance, refrigerated airtight.
    • The whipped coconut cream can be made 1 day in advance, refrigerated airtight.
    Nutritional values are based on one of twelve servings.

      Can’t wait to make this tart! !
      Do you think I can use maple syrup or honey instead of the sugar in the crust?
      I know it’s subbing wet ingredients for dry ingredients... but I can’t really eat sugar.

        Hi Sherry, could you use a dry unrefined sugar, such as maple or coconut sugar? That would definitely work!

✨
I don't remember tasting rhubarb until I moved from the LA area up to Northern California for college. There I fell in love with the tart stalks. Luckily for me, I also fell in love with a guy who's mom grows loads of rhubarb in her yard! We went to visit last weekend and came home with bags full of rhubarb and plump Meyer lemons from Mary's abundant garden. Just the ingredients needed to make this cake! 
✨
This GF rhubarb cake tastes like spring on a plate: redolent with the flavors of almond, olive oil, bright citrus, and tangy rhubarb. It looks deceptively fancy, with slices of pink-hued stalks arranged in concentric circles. But don't be fooled: the batter comes together with just a bowl and a whisk in a matter of minutes.
✨
If you don't have any rhubarb on hand, don't fret: swap in other fruit such as fresh or frozen berries, cherries, peaches, or anything else you like. 
✨
This recipe uses the GF flours almond, oat, sweet rice, and millet. I’ve also tested a grain-free version with almond, cassava, and tapioca flours that works beautifully. Make it DF by using plant yogurt.

This easy little loaf gets a baklava vibe from sticky dates, toasted nuts, cinnamon, and a drizzle of honey if you like. It’s free of grains, dairy, eggs, cane sugar, and can be made nut-free too. I use cassava, almond, and tapioca flours for a sturdy, tender crumb, but I’ve given substitution suggestions in the recipe. If you’ve got a couple of ripe bananas lying around, this is the recipe for you!

•nut or seed butter

🥕 
I was craving this fluffy, springy, gently-spiced carrot cake the other day, so I tested a grain-free and naturally-sweetened version. It’s pretty tasty, and it also happens to be kosher for Passover! 
🥕
Now you can make this elevated classic with a gluten-free flour blend (sweet rice, oat, millet, and tapioca flours) or go grain-free with cassava and coconut flours. Either way, this beauty comes together in minutes with one bowl and a spatula, and it bakes up with a pillowy and tender crumb. 
🥕
Make it in a 9-inch round pan for a single layer cake, or double or triple the recipe for more layers. Or use a square or rectangular pan for sheet cake. Gussy it up with rainbow carrot ribbons, or drizzle with maple or honey on top. 
🥕
I’ve linked to my traditional less-sweet cream cheese frosting in the post, as well as a vegan cream cheese frosting recipe that I make with @miyokoscreamery plant-based butter and cream cheese. Or you can go paleo and top it with whipped coconut cream or thick coconut yogurt. Feel free to add any carrot cake mix-ins you like – pineapple, raisins, shredded coconut, or toasted nuts.

✨
While I didn’t grow up in a religious family, I loved putting together this roundup of sweet treats that happen to be kosher for Passover. I don’t know if it’s the pandemic, my age (I’ll be 40 this year!😳) or following such inspiring Jewish foodies (Jewdies?) as @jakecohen, @zenbelly, @whatjewwannaeat, @predominantly_paleo , and @estherandloretta , among others, but I’ve been feeling super nostalgic for Jewish cuisine lately.
✨
Also, I had no idea how complicated the rules of Passover really are! I knew that wheat and yeasted baked goods were strictly verboten, in order to honor the hardship of our people traversing the dessert without time to stop and let their bread rise. But I didn’t realize that certain groups observe stricter rules, avoiding all foods that even *look* like grains, such as beans, legumes, and even cardamom! 
✨
I even asked you all in my stories to weigh in on the heated debate about baking soda and baking powder. Apparently they are *technically* kosher for Passover according to the letter of the law, even though I and many others always thought they were to be avoided. 
✨
Whether you celebrate or not, I hope you go meshuga for these recipes! A few favorites: 

1. GF Vegan Chocolate Tahini Tart
2. Brown Butter Macaroons
3. Vegan Key Lime Pie
4. Paleo Crepes
5. Pot De Creme
6. Almond Poppy Seed Eton Mess
7. No-Bake Brownie Ice Cream Sandos
