Choc Berry Tart
Here is a delicious recipe for a nutritious Choc-Berry tart.
Tarts are excellent for portion control, but the bases are often made with high fat pastry or sugary biscuits and butter.
This decadent dessert is loaded with flavour and nutrition and is the perfect size to share with someone special.
The use of raw quinoa adds a subtle nutty flavour and crispy texture to the base. This is an excellent grain for weight loss, being high in protein and fibre. It’s often used as an accompaniment to savoury dishes but is just as well suited to sweet desserts.
Ricotta and chocolate is a favoured combination as the subtle taste of the ricotta highlights the richness of the dark chocolate. It also keeps calories and fat content under control, being a much healthier option.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. raw quinoa
- ½ cup almond meal
- 1 tbsp. coconut oil
- 1 tbsp. honey
- ½ cup reduced fat ricotta
- 50g dark chocolate
- 2 tbsp. raw cacao powder
- 1tbsp low fat milk
- 2 tbsp. raspberries (30g)
- 1/2 punnet strawberries, sliced (125g)
- 1 tsp shredded or desiccated coconut, to serve
Method
- Rinse quinoa, drain and tip onto paper-towel to dry.
- In a small saucepan, melt coconut oil and honey. Add to quinoa and almond meal and mix well.
- Press into small tartlet pan (approx. 12cm) until evenly spread over base and sides. Refrigerate.
- Warm ricotta and chocolate in a small saucepan over very low heat, stirring regularly until chocolate is melted. Add cocoa powder and milk and stir until smooth. Cool slightly and spoon into base.
- Return tart to fridge to cool completely (approximately 60 minutes) before removing sides of tin.
- Slice strawberries and combine with raspberries, spoon over cooled tart then sprinkle with coconut before serving.
