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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
