How to make a Chocolate Tart –

1. Begin building your chocolate tart by pressing your crust mixture into a 9-inch tart pan and baking until lightly golden brown.
2. While the crust is cooling, prepare the filling by combining the chocolate chips and the coconut cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat.Stir frequently until the chocolate chips are completely melted.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the optional sweetener and vanilla extract.
4. Pour the filling into the crust and chill in the fridge for about an hour or until the filling is beginning to thicken up.
5. Once the filling is beginning to set, top it with handfuls of pomegranate seeds for a bright contrast of flavor and texture.
6. Continue to allow the completed tart to set in the fridge for another 2 hours or until you are ready to serve it.
7. Allow the filling to finish setting in the fridge and remove from your tart pan once you’re ready to serve.
