7-Ingredients for Paleo Tart
My favorite part of this recipe is that it’s easy and uses minimal ingredients. The part that takes the longest is waiting for it to sit in the fridge.
- Tigernut Flour: despite the name, tigernuts are not nuts, they’re a little starchy and a little fatty and make a great, allergen-friendly, grain-free flour. I like Anthony’s Brand, it’s the most affordable on Amazon.
- Cacao Powder: you only need a little bit, because it’s or the crust. This gives this tart a wonderful chocolate truffle vibe with a chocolate crust and chocolate filling.
- Dark Chocolate: a good quality chocolate to chop up and melt into your coconut cream.
- Coconut Cream: Full-fat, canned, unsweetened coconut cream is the substitute for heavy cream.
Tutorial for Easy Paleo Chocolate Tart

- Bake crust at 350F for 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Chop up your chocolate and set aside.
- In a sauce pot, bring the coconut milk, salt, and vanilla to a steam or low simmer.
- Remove from the heat quickly add the chocolate and mix with a spatula until silky shiny and completely smooth.
- Pour the filling into the crust, and let it cool to room temp before setting in the fridge. Cover once cold. To serve, you can pour a glaze on it, or garnish it with chocolate shavings, coco-whip, or berries.
How to Make this Chocolate Tart AIP Compliant
This paleo vegan chocolate tart is already extremely AIP-friendly! But if you can’t do cacao, it’s an easy swap to use carob powder for the crust and carob chips for the filling to make this dessert totally autoimmune protocol compliant. You can make homemade AIP Chips if you’re super strict. However, you can use Missy J’s Carob Chips too, they’re so yummy.

You can check out my AIP brownie post for a glaze. If you wanna add a glaze on top, I like to do coconut whipped cream or chocolate shavings and berries.
Recipe Notes:
- If when you mix the crust it feels too dry or crumbly, just add more fat, 1 teaspoon at a time, until you get a nice, wet sand consistency.
- For the filling, if you don’t use enough chocolate, it will not set. If you want to make this recipe lower in sugar, use half sweetened chocolate and half-sweetened chocolate, but don’t mess with the ratio of chocolate to coconut cream.
- for AIP use carob chips and carob powder.
