No-Bake Chocolate Gingerbread Tart is perfect for the upcoming holidays or any occasion. It features a no-bake silky and creamy ganache filling on a gingerbread crust. This tart is easy to make, rich, and so delicious. It can be adapted as gluten-free and vegan.

I made this No-Bake Chocolate Gingerbread Tart using ingredients that were sitting inside my pantry about to expire. It is incredible how creative we can get using pantry staples that we already have at home. If you’ve never had chocolate and ginger together I recommend you give it a try. It’s quite a scrumptious combination. It’s like drinking a cozy cup of hot cocoa with delicious gingerbread cookies.

These bars are everything you need for a perfect dessert or snack. They are vegan, healthy, gluten-free and scrumptious. Of course, they are also easy and fun to make. A great recipe to make with your children during this quarantine.

I used my Peanut Butter Hazelnut Truffle recipe to make the crust, and my Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate No Bake Tart filling for the top layer. Sometimes when I want a quick dessert, I combine recipes and it works amazingly.

To make these bars, I used a silicon mold but if you don’t have one it’s okay. You can use a greased muffin tin or make a tart using a square baking pan and after it’s done, slice it.

For toppings you can add fruits or drizzle peanut butter. I used berries and rose buds the I found on Amazon but you can use your favorite ones..

A few steps to make these tarts.

These Truffles are:

·      Vegan

·      Healthy

·      Gluten-Free

·      Refined Sugar Free

·      Filled with Nutrients

·      Easy to prepare

·      The perfect portion for dessert or snack

·      Great for to-go lunches or hiking adventures

·      Fun for Kids
