Scale
- 1 1/2 cups granola (preferably nutty or seed-based)
- 1/2 cup macadamia nuts, chopped
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 1/4 cups dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- Optional: extra chopped macadamias and flaky sea salt for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a tart pan with a removable bottom.
- In a bowl, mix granola, chopped macadamia nuts, melted butter, and honey or maple syrup until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the tart pan to form a crust.
- Bake the crust for 10–12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
- In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
- Add the chocolate, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the hot cream. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
- Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is set.
- Garnish with additional chopped macadamias and flaky sea salt before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for best flavor.
- The tart can be made a day ahead and kept refrigerated.
- For a vegan version, use coconut cream and dairy-free chocolate.
