If you haven't yet tried infusing your desserts with tea, I highly recommend getting on it! dark chocolate with delicate fragrant earl grey for a sophisticated flavor explosion.Topped with a blackberry coulis which adds another dimension of flavor with its sweet and tangy attributes.
To make the crust, add the roasted buckwheat to your food processor and blitz for a couple of minutes until roughly ground. Add the cashews and blitz for another minute or so until the texture resembles a light crumb consistency. Add the remaining base ingredients and continue to process until all the ingredients start to stick together to form a dough consistency.
Press the mixture evenly into your tart tin, bringing the base up at least a few inches up the sides of the tin to create a crust. Set the base aside in the freezer to set.
Add the coconut milk and earl grey teabags to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Allow it to simmer for 2 minutes before carefully removing the teabags. Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the pan and whisk well.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the chocolate to the mixture and allow it to melt through before whisking well to ensure the mixture is smooth without lumps.
Remove the tart base from the freezer and pour the filling on top. Tap the tin on your work surface a couple of times to knock out any air bubbles. Place the tart in the freezer to set for 6 hours.
For the coulis, place the blackberries, coconut sugar, and orange juice into a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Place a lid on the saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil.
Remove the lid and allow the mixture to simmer for approx 10-20 minutes until it has reduced by at least half. Strain the mixture through a sieve and allow the liquid to cool and set to a syrup consistency.
Once set, remove the tart from the tin and allow to defrost for one hour. Decorate with fresh blackberries, mint leaves and, serve with a drizzle of blackberry coulis.
