A different kind of coffee party – with coffee and cake all in one dish. This vegan espresso tart was served in the break room of our editorial office and tastes simply amazing. Thatโ€™s why we really want to share it with you โ€“ or rather the recipe for it.

This is how itโ€™s done:

Ingredients:

1/3 cup ground hazelnuts โ€ข 1/3 cup oat flakes โ€ข 3 tbsp coconut oil โ€ข 2 tbsp almond milk, unsweetened โ€ข ยฝ cup coconut flakes โ€ข 21 oz silken tofu โ€ข 1/2 cup coconut milk โ€ข 1 cup cocoa powder, de-oiled โ€ข 1 fl oz espresso (if you like, you can refine it with a pinch of cardamom) โ€ข 3 tbsp tapioca flour โ€ข 2/3 cups maple syrup โ€ข 1 tbsp almond butter

Dough:

Preheat the oven at 360 ยฐF.

Combine nuts, oat flakes, 2 ยผ tbsp coconut oil, the almond milk, and the coconut flakes and pour dough into a (7-inch) springform (that is covered with baking paper). Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.

Filling:

Cream tofu, coconut milk (save 1 tbsp), ยพ cup cocoa powder, espresso, tapioca flour, and maple syrup and pour mixture over the pie. Bake for another 35 minutes.

Chocolate topping:

Mix 1 tbsp coconut milk, almond butter, ยผ cup cocoa powder, and ยพ tbsp coconut oil and spread over the cooled down (!) tart. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Then, make yourself a coffee
and enjoy.
