Ingredients

• 1 cup (112g) Bobs Red Mill coconut flour
• ⅓ cup sliced almonds, toasted and finely chopped*
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¼ cup pure maple syrup
• ½ cup coconut oil, solid at room temperature
• 6 ounces dairy-free dark chocolate, chopped
• ½ cup canned full-fat coconut milk
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• ⅛ teaspoon almond extract (optional)
• 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved (I used an OXO cherry pitter to pit them)
• Toasted sliced almonds, to garnish

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease a 9 or 10 tart pan with a removable bottom.
• Combine coconut flour, toasted almonds, and salt in a bowl or stand mixer. Add the maple syrup and room temperature coconut oil and mix until a large dough ball forms, pressing out any clumps of coconut oil.
• Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. Let cool completely while preparing the filling.
• Place the chopped chocolate into a bowl. Heat the coconut milk until simmering (or about 20-30 seconds in the microwave) and pour over the chocolate. Let sit for one minute, and then whisk until smooth. Whisk in the salt and almond extract, if using.
• Pour the chocolate ganache evenly into the crust. Arrange the halved cherries on top of the chocolate as desired. Garnish with toasted sliced almonds.
• Place in the refrigerator to let chocolate cool completely, about 1 hour, before slicing and serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
