Raspberry chocolate mousse tart ingredients
In this paragraph you’ll find general information about necessary ingredients, their role and possible substitutes. Details about quantities and step-by-step-preparation can be found in the recipe card at the end of the article.
For the crust, I used a mix of almond flour, buckwheat flour and cocoa powder. No worries, you can use buckwheat flour in no-bake desserts. For a more intense flavor, you can use roasted buckwheat flour. You can buy it or you can roast it yourself at home. Just put it in a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake at 190° C for 10-12 minutes. Or substitute with oat flour.
To add structure to the crust, I used coconut oil. And my choice of sweetener was rice syrup as it’s thicker comparing to other liquid sweeteners and it better “glues” together the rest of the ingredients.
For the raspberry jam, I used chia seeds and rice syrup. And raspberries, of course! Both fresh and frozen raspberries work well.
To make the chocolate mousse, I used avocado, cocoa powder and cocoa butter. You can sub cocoa powder with carob. And I chose maple syrup this time for the flavor it gives to this mousse.
How to make no-bake raspberry chocolate mousse tarts
Since the raspberry jam needs some time to cool, I recommend this to be the first step in the recipe.
Place all jam ingredients into a small saucepan and bring to a boiling point. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Be sure to stir from time to time. Turn off the heat when the jam thickens and set aside to cool.
Next, place all crust ingredients into a bowl and combine well. You’ll get a sticky crumbly dough.
I used 4 small tart pans of 12 cm in diameter and 2,5 cm height. You can opt for a 22 cm tart pan. If using 4 pans, divide the dough into 4 equal parts and place into the small pans. Press well on the bottom and sides so you get a compact crust. If you’re not using removable bottom pans, place a parchment paper stripe on the bottom of each pan before adding the dough (see the image below). This will help removing the tarts easier.
Place the crust into the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, blend together all mousse ingredients until smooth and creamy. Make sure you melt the cocoa butter before adding it into the blender.
Remove the pans from the fridge and spread a thin raspberry jam layer in the bottom of the crusts. Then add a thick avocado chocolate mousse layer.
Decorate the tarts as you wish with raspberries, chocolate and / or cocoa nibs. Then allow them to set in the freezer for 2 hours.
