Chocolate Crust:
-
- Preheat the oven to 356 °F (180 °C) and lightly grease a 9.5-inch (24-cm) tart pan with a removable bottom (or a springform pan).
- If using whole nuts and rolled oats, grind both into flour using a blender or food processor. Add cocoa powder, salt, dates, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil, and blend again until the mixture sticks together. (If it looks too dry, add a little water).
- Press the mixture into the prepared pan, forming an even tart shell. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. (If bubbles appear, press them down with a spoon afterward). For a no-bake option, simply place the pan in the refrigerator. However, the bottom will not be crispy, but rather softer, like Bliss Balls.
- Allow to cool completely before adding the filling.

Raspberry Filling:
- Heat the raspberries in a saucepan and cook briefly until they can be easily mashed. Strain them through a fine-meshed sieve, collecting the juice (yields about 200 ml).
- Pour about 3 tbsp of water into a small container and dissolve the cornstarch with the agar powder in it.
- Add the raspberry juice and all other ingredients for the filling into a pot. Pour in the cornstarch-agar mixture and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring, until nicely thickened.
- Pour the mixture into the tart shell and allow it to cool to room temperature for about 1 hour. Then place in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 more hours (or preferably overnight) until the filling is completely set.
Garnish:
- Garnish with fresh raspberries, red currants, pomegranate seeds, and sprinkles if desired. I also made some pretty chocolate designs using a 3D chocolate printer.
- Slice and enjoy!
