Instructions
Crust
- Add buckwheat groats to your food processor and blend until coarsley ground.
- Then add almonds, cashews, dates and blend again until a crumbly mass forms (this might take a couple of minutes, until nuts have released their natural oils). Scrape down the sides every 30 seconds.
- Add maple syrup (& coconut oil) and blend again.
- Line six tartlet tins with parchment paper (or grease with a little bit of oil) and press the crust into the tin using your fingers (or a spoon).
Caramel Layer
- In a small bowl, mix together peanut butter, maple syrup & salt with a whisk. Stir until a smooth sauce forms.
- Spoon about 1,5 tablespoon of caramel into each of the tins.
Chocolate Ganache
- Heat a saucepan over low heat and add dark chocolate and coconut cream, while constantly stirring with a whisk.
- Once fully dissolved pour your chocolate cream mix over the caramel layer and place it in the fridge to set (about 4hours or overnight).
Notes
- Coconut cream: It is really important that your coconut milk has a is a full-fat milk and has a high content (of coconut extract, otherwise there won’t be a lot of cream on top. I prefer using a coconut milk that contains 90% coconut extract, whereas I also tried using a 55% version and it didn’t work. How many coconut milk tins you need, in order to get 1 cup of coconut cream also depends on the coconut content of your milk. If the content is high, one milk is definitely enough.
