Vegan Chocolate Coffee Ganache Tart

What’s better than a homemade chocolate tart? One infused with your favorite coffee. This is the ultimate, decadent chocolate dessert.

What you need:

For the crust:
½ cup vegan butter
⅓ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup finely chopped walnuts
1½ cups flour

For the filling:
1 cup chopped bittersweet chocolate
1¼ cups coffee
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup slivered almonds (optional)

What you do:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, cream butter and sugar with whisk until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and walnuts and mix. Add in flour ⅓ cup at a time and mix until dough sticks together and is slightly moist.
Into a tart pan, press dough with your fingertips. Bake until edges are just barely starting to brown, about 20 minutes. Allow crust to cool completely before filling.
For the filling, in a small pot, melt chocolate until it softens. In another small pot, bring coffee to a boil. Pour coffee over softened chocolate and stir mixture until smooth. Add cornstarch, vanilla, and salt to mixture. Pour filling into cooled crust. Place tart in refrigerator and chill 6 hours. Decorate top of tart with slivered almonds along edge of crust as desired, then slice and serve.
