I hereby welcome the next sweet recipe on my blog. Hello, creamy coffee tart with hazelnut crust.

I also eat savory foods. For real. In fact, I love to. I just can't miss that one bite of sweet after.

Ok, it would be more appropriate to say “a piece”. A piece of chocolate, a piece of cake. Yes, that's more likely.

In any case, it is clear that when I take my daily sweet bites, I like to know that they are a little healthier than the ones I'd buy.

This means that they haven't seen any refined white sugar, palm oil, or anything like that.

I also eat sweets from the supermarket, but at least my homemade treats should meet these criteria. :)

That's why I like this creamy coffee tart with hazelnut crust so much

• It is not baked, but simply placed in the refrigerator to solidify. The coffee tart is very easy to make.
• It contains no “normal sugar” but is sweetened with dates and coconut blossom sugar (mascobado sugar or cane sugar work as well!).
• It doesn't contain flour and is gluten-free.
• The texture. THE TEXTURE! It melts in your mouth!

The crust tastes incredibly delicious with hazelnuts and caramel.

Then there's this cream. The coffee cream is so silky and smooth!

The consistency of the coffee tart really is unbeatable. It is incredibly soft and creamy. This is because it does not contain any solid components. Neither melted chocolate, nor almond butter or cashews.

Vegan Coffee Tart - Ingredients

The hazelnut crust is made out of the following ingredients:

Oats, hazelnuts, chia seeds, coffee powder, cocoa powder, coconut oil and dates. All ingredients are mixed in a blender until a sand-like mass is formed.

The cream is made from the solid, fatty part of coconut milk. You can get this by putting a can of coconut milk in the fridge for at least an hour.

But it also works if you use coconut milk that is at room temperature. Just make sure it hasn't been shaken for a while. Then the firmer part also settles on top.

Other ingredients in the cream include coconut blossom sugar (or mascobado or cane sugar), cocoa and espresso powder, corn starch, agar agar and vanilla.

These ingredients are simply boiled in a pot, cooled briefly and then emptied into the crust.

Creamy Coffee Tart with Hazelnut Crust – Tips & FAQ

Should I use a specific coconut milk?

Use full-fat coconut milk for this coffee tart. You should only use the solid (fattier) part of the coconut milk, as this makes the cream firm and also gives it a delicate, melt-in-the-mouth consistency.

Can I prepare this coffee tart?

Yes, very good actually. It must be refrigerated for at least 6 hours so that the cream sets. However, you can even make the tart up to 24 hours in advance.

Can I use decaffeinated coffee powder?

Yes absolutely. You can use coffee powder with or without caffeine.

Which toppings are best for this vegan coffee tart?

Chocolate can be used as a topping for this creamy coffee tart. Roasted nuts, sesame seeds, or some espresso/cocoa powder also work great.
