Today, I have for you my friends incredibly amazing things!!! ;)
A Chocolate Tart that is amazingly delicious with pure natural ingredients and a Giveaway from one of my all-time favourite dessert brands : Sweets from the Earth!!
I don’t know where to start…. do I tell you about this tart that comes together with only 4 ingredients and can be all done in under 20 minutes???
Or do I tell you about these amazing quality ingredients in this chocolate tart that are gluten-free and vegan/ dairy-free and egg-free and all natural???
Or maybe I should just jump in to tell you how much I really truly love Sweets from the Earth products??? They have been my lifeline for quick quality gluten-free and vegan desserts for the last 5 years and I’m thrilled to be sharing these goodies with you ;)
Oh let’s start with that Chocolate Chip Cookie Chocolate Tart! Because I know you’re now salivating and are licking your screen – and are possibly wondering how on earth 4 ingredients and 20 minutes can make THIS DELICIOUSNESS happen! ;)
Sometimes you want big results with little effort, right?
Sometimes you want to work smarter not harder, right?
And sometimes you just want to serve a stunning Chocolate Tart that takes up very little of your time but looks and tastes amazing!!! Am I right?
I love homemade desserts but sometimes I just want something quick and beautiful on the table without spending hours baking or mixing in over a dozen of ingredients. But I still have high expectations and I won’t settle for anything less than excellent! For baked goods that means, all the ingredients need to be all-natural, gluten-free and vegan and completely pure with no refined sugar, artificial flavours or colours or preservatives. This stunning Chocolate Tart is all of the above, would you believe?
The secret behind the Gluten-free and Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Chocolate Tart is the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough from Sweets from the Earth! The full base of the tart is one giant cookie ~ which naturally is gluten-free and vegan!
The next ingredients are a quick blend of cashews, dark chocolate and coconut oil – together making the richest mousse-like chocolate layer!!! To die for!!! ;)
Chocolate Chip Cookie Chocolate Tart | vegan & gluten-free
Ingredients :
1 package Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough from Sweets from the Earth
1 cup raw cashews, soaked for 2 hours
3/4 cup dark vegan chocolate squares or chocolate chips
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup warm filtered water
+ fresh berries, mint and powdered sugar to sprinkle on top (optional)
Directions :
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Line a tart dish with parchment paper and grease the sides. Press the Sweets from the Earth Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough into the baking dish, pushing some dough onto the sides and making sure the dough is spread out evenly. Bake at 350 F for about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to fully cool.
In the meantime as your Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is baking, you can quickly make the chocolate mousse layer.
Set up a double boiler, or a bowl overtop a pot with water to melt the chocolate. Heat on medium until the chocolate melts completely.
In another small pot, heat the coconut oil until it’s fully melted but not boiling, turn off heat once it’s melted.
Rinse and drain the pre-soaked raw cashews and mix on high in a food processor. Add in the melted chocolate, warm water and coconut oil. Continue mixing until all ingredients are fully mixed. Be sure to turn off the food processor and scrape down the sides to get all the ingredients incorporated well.
Pour over the Chocolate Chip Cookie base and place in the refrigerator to set. For a quick serving, place in the freezer for about 5 minutes or longer until it’s fully set.
Top with fresh berries and mint and sprinkle some powdered sugar on top to finish it off! That’s it!! Enjoy! ;)
If you have little ones excited to help… do let them ;)
About 20 minutes later….. this amazing Chocolate Chip Cookie Chocolate Tart was ready to be eaten up! It was pure perfection ~ rich and heavenly at every bite and best of all, I felt great about what was in it ;)
The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough makes the best cookies (we already knew that!) but it also makes for a wonderful tart base! Oh my, it was decadent and amazing – the whole family raved about it! And I can’t wait to make this again!! My daughter was overjoyed with this fanciness at the table… I was overjoyed I could easily make a little one so happy ;)
What’s great is that you can have the Sweets from the Earth Cookie Dough in your freezer at all times and break out a quick and delicious tart whenever you feel like it ;)
Now here’s the next best part!!!!
Sweets from the Earth is generously offering a Prize Package for a range of their desserts!!! Awesome, right?

What a fabulous product! You’re right, sometimes I just want maximum results for minimal efforts (ahem, maybe a bit more than ‘sometimes’…). I wish Sweets From The Earth products were available in the UK, too!
Thank you so much!
I wish you had them in the UK too ;)
They are so good, I sure hope one they they are on the shelves worldwide ;)

Wow…what a great product to have at your disposal. it’s nice to be able to whip something up quickly. Your pie pan is great too!
Thank you Jennifer ;)
It’s convenient, quick, delicious and ‘healthy’ – can’t beat all of the above!! ;) xo
Absolutely luminous! (and I always love seeing small hands involved ;-) ) but wait… weren’t you supposed to be off chocolate? glad you made an exception :o)
Thank you Kelly ;)
You’re good…. I got caught!! ;)
Well, I do have to limit carbs to be exact, it’s not a chocolate thing but I can’t just eat what and when I want – I have to count them literally and only have a treat every two hours. I made sure I had ‘room’ for a little tiny piece (not the whole slice) but oh dear, did I ever want to devour the whole tart!!! ;) It is dangerous to bake with these restrictions ;) I need help to finish this dessert – you should come over ;)
*smile*

Oh wow what a creative way to use their products!! I would love to win some of their stuff, I love it!
Thank you so much Gabby ;)
We are lucky to have this good stuff close at hand ~ perks of being Canadian (definitely not the spring weather we’re having!! ;)
I realized the giveaway wasn’t activated earlier, if you want you should come by again and enter, maybe you’ll get some delicious goodies coming your way ;)
xoxo ella
I’m totally stealing this idea from you (of course I’ll credit you ;))
I don’t know why I never thought of making a tart with a chocolate chip cookie dough base! It’s genius.
PS – your pictures are gorgeous! And the giveaway isn’t open yet. Is that intentional? I can’t enter but thought I’d ask anyway. And feel free to delete this part of my comment. :)
Erin, thank you so much for catching that! oops! I don’t have a lot of experience using Rafflecopter – still this won’t help you much dear, because this is for Canadians only…. sorry ;(
xoxo Can’t wait to see your tart!! xo
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough! These are gorgeous photos, love them all!
Thank you so much Rika!!!
Taking the photos is like a cherry-on-top for me every time ;)

The cookie dough looks fabulous!
Looks yummy! Thanks for the giveaway.
I would love to try the coconut cream cupcake!
I would definitely try the Chocolate Mint cupcakes first!
What a gorgeous dessert! I don’t think it can get much better than a rich chocolatey ganache on a chocolate chip cookie!
I have been dying to try their gluten free frozen cookie dough! Any of them will do, but the double chocolate?! I die… your dessert looks amazing. If I don’t win, I may have to smuggle some of that cookie dough back home when I visit Toronto in May!
I have been waiting to try a pre-made vegan cookie dough, looks great in the recipe!!
Vegan cookie dough!! Yayy!!!
Looks amazing. Now I need to find where to get the cookie dough.
