Ingredients
- 100g oats
- 100g medjool dates , chopped
- 150g ground almonds
- 25g cacao powder
- 4 tbsp tahini
- 180g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 300g silken tofu
- 60g raspberries
- 60g blueberries
Method
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the oats in a food processor and pulse to a coarse powder. Add the dates, ground almonds, cacao powder and tahini, and blitz until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs and holds together when pressed between your fingers. Add a little more tahini to bind it, if needed. Press the mixture firmly into the base and up the side of a 20cm tart tin using your fingers. Bake for 20-25 mins, then cool.
Break up the dark chocolate and tip into a heatproof bowl. Melt in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring well between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Blitz the tofu to a smooth paste using a hand blender, then fold into the melted chocolate to fully combine. Pour the filling into the cooled base, smoothing the surface using the back of a spoon or a spatula. Chill for at least 1 hr, or up to two days.
When ready to serve, remove from the tin and sit on a serving plate or board. Scatter over the berries, then cut into slices to serve.
