Step 6

Bake for 12 - 14 minutes until the cust turns a darker brown color

Step 7

Let crust cool while you make the filling

Step 8

Heat the chocolate chips, coconut milk, and cashew butter in a skillet over low heat (I recommend using a double boiler method to do this to prevent the chocolate from burning — place the skillet on top of a pot of simmering water while you stir the ingredients in the skillet. This provides indirect heat which makes for the perfect melted chocolate!

Step 9

Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and sea salt

Pour chocolate mixture into the tart crust. Give it a gentle shake at the end to level it all out

Step 11

Place small dollops of cashew butter on top of chocolate and gently swirl with the tip of a knife (optional)
