Chocolate Avocado Mousse Tart with Figs Recipe
How to make Chocolate Avocado Mousse Tart with Figs
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C (or 160°C fan-forced). Place the tart base ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir until well combined. It will be more of a thick, nutty paste rather than a pastry.
- Using slightly wet hands, gently press the mixture into the base and sides of a 35cm x 12cm x 3cm fluted tart tin with a removable base. Make sure the base and sides an covered with an even thickness.
- Place on a baking tray or oven sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
- Make the filling by placing all ingredients, except fresh figs, into a food processor and process until thick and smooth.
- Pour into the cooled tart base and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or up to overnight, to allow it to chill and set.
- When ready to serve, slice the figs and place on top of the set filling. Cut and serve.
Tip: Cut the tart into portions using a long, hot knife to get the smoothest possible edge. Get the knife hot by placing in hot water and drying with a tea towel before making each cut.
Optional: You can substitute the fresh figs with fresh berries. Try raspberries, blackberries or sliced strawberries.
