I'm a biiig chocolate lover and consume it whenever I get the chance! So when I heard my aunt and cousins were coming for dinner, I knew I had to make something delicious for dessert. I ended up with these tarts that taste so freaking delicious, Its hard to control yourself.

▻ 80g raw cacao
▻ 50g maple syrup (or more if you prefer a less bitter mousse
▻ 1/2 tsp vanilla powder
▻ 1/2 tsp cinnamon

(( you can also use store bought chocolate of your choice ))

directions 

1. melt cocoa butter in a bowl over a pot of simmering water.
    Stir in cocoa powder, vanilla powder and cinnamon.
    Then the maple syrup. It will thicken up a lot, but that is okay.

2. Add in the coconut cream. continue stirring over a low heat. This will take some time, but its definitely worth it.

3. If you get any lumps you can use an electric mixer to get them out. even if you don’t, I would still recommend it, because         it makes it super airy :)

4. chill in fridge until it firms up or over night.

♡ The mousse is delicious as is, but add on the tart shell, and berries it really take it to the next level.
