Instructions
 

  • Process walnuts, flax and salt together, then transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.
  • To the food processor cup, add dates and melted butter and puree into a paste, then add to walnut mixture and combine to form a crumbly dough.
  • Add crust mixture into a 10-inch tart pan/dish and press into sides and bottom evenly using a rubber spatula or clean hands/fingers. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine chocolate chips, vanilla, salt and maple syrup and set aside.
  • In a small sauce pot heat coconut milk to almost boiling over medium-high heat.
  • Pour hot milk over top of chocolate in large bowl and do not stir, just let it be for one minute. After one minute is up, whisk until smooth.
  • Next, add purple sweet potatoes to processor and process until crumbs, then add chocolate mixture and puree on high for one minute or until mostly smooth (it will still have a few lumpy bits.)
  • Add chocolate sweet potato mixture to crust and spread evenly, all the way to sides.
  • Place in refrigerator until set, about 3-4 hours, then garnish if desired and slice.
