1

First, prepare the crust: in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, pulse together the shredded coconut, raw almonds, sea salt and raw cashews until finely ground without any large chunks.

2

Add the cashew butter and blend until a dough forms, rising up the sides of the bowl.

3

Transfer the dough to a 9”-inch tart pan with a removable bottom set on a plate or sheet pan.

4

Use your hands or a flat bottomed measuring cup to press the dough into the crevasses of the tart pan and up the sides evenly.

5

Place the filled tart shell in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

6

To make the filling: Place the baking chips in a small bowl and set aside.

7

Bring the coconut milk to a gentle simmer over medium heat on the stovetop.

8

Pour the just simmered coconut milk over the chocolate and stir to melt the chocolate completely, stirring until smooth and glossy.

9

Remove the tart shell from the refrigerator and pour the ganache filling into the tart, spreading evenly with a spatula.

10

Tap the filled tart on the countertop gently to allow any bubbles to rise to the surface, then return the finished tart to the refrigerator to chill until set, roughly 3 hours.

11

Slice into 8-12 pieces. Store any leftover tart in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
