Dark Chocolate Truffle Tart with Mixed Berries in a Teff Crust {Vegan}
If you want to impress your dinner guests, then you'll want to make this tart that will have everyone oohing and aahing in anticipation. Little will they know that the tart is incredibly easy to make even though it has that fancy bakery appeal. No kneading, chilling and rolling out of the crust. And when it comes down to it, simplicity in all its blissful glory is just the dessert to make a lasting impression. Rich, succulently dense and refreshing, the goodness of fine quality dark chocolate pairs perfectly with the earthy teff crust. You'll only need a small slice of this divine tart, despite the urge to skip dinner all together and just concentrate on dessert.
This dessert was the crowning touch on my vegetarian Christmas meal that was quietly enjoyed at home with my husband, cherished bestest friend Basil, and two kitties lurking around but respectfully staying away from our food. My dinner was so tempting that it was deemed best to leave the tart to sit out and entice while we enjoyed a hot mulligatawny soup and my lush and filling samosa potpie. Coffee was necessary after dinner as we opened a few gifts and then onto the tart as dinner began to settle in our full tummies.
Teff is a very small ancient grain originating in Ethiopia. Technically a seed, small these grains may be, but teff has a mighty presence as it's packed full of essential nutrients and plenty of earthy flavour. As you would expect, the flour is simply the ground grain. Eating the crust of this tart is part of the enjoyment, as it adds a earthy, dense and nutty-flavor contrast to the chocolate filling. Teff flour can usually be found at natural food stores and Bob's Red Mill make a fine version.
