    No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart & Big News!

    October 28, 2013 by keepinitkind 73 Comments

    No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart

    I have had a lot of jobs in my time.  My first job was as a baby-sitter, but my first job with an actual paycheck was as a gymnastics coach while I was in highschool and for a couple years in college.

    No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart

    I was a personal trainer in a private training studio for over eight years.  I also led a few work-out boot camps.

    During college I took on several odd jobs to help pay rent and tuition.  Dog walker/Petsitter being one of them.  I also started a short-lived event planning company after I got married to my first husband (I soon got burnt out on crazy-ass brides).

    No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart

    I was a Fairy Princess/Princess/Cinderella who entertained at children's parties.  I also taught after-school Storybook Theater classes and during the summer, Mommy & Me Theater classes (Yeah, it was as weird as it sounds).

    Later, post-divorce, I taught English in an Italian theater-based summer camp in Treviso, Italy.  I was a nanny in Florence too, though that did not end well.

    No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart

    I was a salesgirl in a furniture gallery when I met Chris.

    No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart

    I worked as a fromagier at a fancy French restaurant in West Hollwood.  I also picked up some cocktail waitressing shifts while I was there.  I left when I landed my (then) dream job as cheesemonger in an artisinal cheese shop.

    Just before I turned 30, I realized I was getting to an age where I needed a job that had actual benefits.  I got back to my roots, helping people live a healthier life as a nutritional advisor for a personal catering company owned by a celebrity nutritionist.   When I went vegan, I could no longer handle this job.  I quit 2 years ago this month.

    No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart

    Since then, I've worked off an on as a locations coordinator for film (Chris hired me) but I mostly just worked on Keepin' It Kind.  Then, when I least expected, I got a job offer I could not refuse.  A job I had only ever just dreamt about.  A job I Never. Saw. Coming.

    No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart

    The newest title on my resume is: Cookbook Author.  Back in August, a few weeks before we left for Europe, The Experiment (the Forks Over Knives Cookbooks, Veganissimo, Vedge) contacted me with a concept for a book that they thought I would be a good fit for.  Now, a couple of months later, Chris and I are learning the ropes of putting together a cookbook and loving every minute of it!  I am so incredibly grateful for all of your support and encouragement since Keepin' It Kind began.  We wouldn't be where we are today if it weren't for you.  I have to keep pinching myself because I can't believe I'm actually writing a cookbook right now!  There will be more details to come, but for now, if I don't respond to your comments (though I read & love every single one and will do my best to respond!!!) or if I fall off my regular blogging schedule (though I'm doing my very best not to), you'll know what I'm up to.

    No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart

    To celebrate, I'm sharing a recipe for a no-bake chocolate peanut butter tart.  It's inspired by my favorite pie that my grandma used to make.  Since my grandma is the one who taught me to cook, it seems only appropriate that for this occasion, I share a recipe based on one of her best.  The concept of mixing peanut butter and silken tofu together is not a new one, but it's a great one nonetheless.  There's a dreamy chocolate hazelnut crust and it's topped with drizzles of creamy chocolate ganache.  If you hadn't guessed by looking at it, let me tell you- this tart is RICH.  Meaning, a sliver (1/16th of the tart) will certainly satisfy any sweet/chocolate/peanut butter/decadent dessert cravings you may have.  It's also comes together very easily so no matter how busy you are with work, you have no excuse not to treat yourself to this tasty treat.

    No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart

    Yield: 16 slices

    No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart

    Ingredients

      for the crust
    • 2 cups raw hazelnuts
    • 10 pitted dates
    • 1/4 cup cacao powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • for the peanut butter filling
    • 1 cup peanut butter (I used Peanut Butter & Co. Smooth Operator for this one, but I've also used homemade before)
    • 1 12oz box silken tofu, drained
    • 2 packets of stevia (or 2 teaspoons dry sweetener of choice)
    • 1/8 teaspoon xanthum gum (optional- adds a bit of firmness)
    • for the chocolate ganache layer
    • 1/2 cup dark vegan chocolate chips
    • 1/4 cup coconut milk
    • toppings
    • cacao nibs
    • chocolate chunks/shavings

    Instructions

      for the crust
    1. Combine the hazelnuts, dates, and cacao powder in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until smooth and crumbly, scraping sides as needed. Pulse until combined.
    2. Lightly grease a tart pan or springform pan. Press the crust mixture into the bottom of the pan and (if using a tart pan) up the sides. Place in the freezer for 1 hour.
    3. for the peanut butter filling
    4. In a blender or food processor, combine the filling ingredients. Process until smooth, scraping sides as needed. Pour the mixture on top of the crust in the tart/springform pan. Use a rubber spatula to smooth out. Freeze for at least one 1 hour.
    5. for the ganache layer
    6. Place the chocolate chips in a bowl. Set aside.
    7. Pour the coconut milk into a small pot on the stove and bring to a boil. Right when it begins to boil, remove it from heat and pour it over the chocolate chips. Let it sit for about minutes and then VERY GENTLY stir until it is completely combined and smooth. Let it cool at room temperature.
    8. to finish
    9. Once the tart has set for at least an hour, drizzle the cooled chocolate ganache over the top of the peanut butter layer. Sprinkle with cacao nibs and/or chocolate chips/chunks, if desired. Refrigerate until chocolate is set, about 30-60 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator slice and serve. Enjoy!

    Notes

    You should line the bottom part of your tart pan with parchment paper if you can. It will make it much easier to transfer to a serving plate. I forgot this step and that's why I had to keep it on the tart pan base.

        I have not tried it in this application, but sometimes you can use coconut yogurt mixed with a thickening starch like cornstarch, arrowroot or tapioca flour. I would try 12oz. coconut milk yogurt mixed with 1 tablespoon of the starch of your choice. Let me know how it turns out!

      this looks wonderful and i'd like to prepare it as one of the desserts for my daughter's wedding (wish i could say the entire affair was going to be vegan 🙁 , everything but one murdered pig [yes, i'm very saddened and disappointed in my daughter] will be made with vegan ingredients). i do have a few questions: 1. what size tart pan (I have to buy one), 2. silken tofu, which level of firmness? and 3. will the tart handle being at room temperature for any period of time? thank you sooooo very much!

        Thank you, Pam! That's pretty amazing that everything (aside from the pig) will be made vegan! I was at a wedding recently with a dead pig sitting on the buffet table and it made me pretty sad. The fact that there the only other vegan option was plain lettuce made it even worse. At least there will be options and it sounds like you're setting a great example. 🙂 I used a 10inch tart pan, though an 8inch would've worked just as well (and made it a little thicker). Any silken tofu would work, but I always prefer to use extra firm silken tofu. This tart will last about 10-15 minutes at room temp but is best when it's kept chilled. I hope that helps! Have fun! 🙂

          thanks so much for the information! we'll know to keep it chilled until just before they open the dessert bar. // ah, i'll be sure to get the extra firm (i bought some firm today...so i'll use it for my first go!) // oh that stinks about the lettuce. i was the only vegan at a wedding in wisconsin (cheese and corpses) and was given string beans, carrots and potatoes. a step up from lettuce any way. // i wish my daughter would get on board (cut out all dairy) and quit making excuses for others (her husband included). the changes to make things vegan were so easy...earth balance, agave, plant-based milks, but you know all that! ANYWAY, her twin is planning HER wedding...and it will be ALL VEGAN (even though her future husband is an omni). have a great evening and thank you so much for your feedback!

      I made this tart last night....exactly as written. it is beauuuuutiful and delicious BUT my crust completely fell apart. I have a 10" tart pan - the crust was very thick (maybe a half inch) and I greased the pan and pressed it down super hard before freezing. it totally crumbled apart after 3 hours in the freezer. despite my fail there, the flavor is incredible and I will definitely be making this again if I can figure out the crust trick. 😉 thank you!!!

        I'm sorry your crust fell apart! Was it spread too thin in some parts? The crust of my first try fell apart easily and I believe it's because I spread it too thin. I'm glad you liked the flavor, though! Enjoy! 🙂

        Maybe process your crust more? We processed ours a long time to make sure it would stick, and it seems to have worked.

      Hi --- If I want to make this today for a birthday party tomorrow, can I just store it in the fridge? Or the freezer? Thanks!

        Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner! I would keep it in the freezer for the first couple of hours and then transfer it to the refrigerator until you serve it. Enjoy! 🙂

      This came out perfectly! Of the 4 desserts at our party, this was the tastiest one and the most beautiful! We went full force with cacao nibs, shaved chocolate, and the ganache - I truly think that it is the most beautiful dessert I've ever made! Great ideas and photos!
      We did need to add extra sugar and some salt to the filling, because we used the type of peanut butter that is just plain peanuts from the peanut butter machine. It was so delicious and the crust came out perfectly and held together wonderfully! Thanks for this wonderful recipe!

      Hi there,

      Recipe sounds delicious - I was just wondering if I could make the crust and the peanut butter layer in advance and leave in the feezer for a few days and then do the ganache layer on the day? Or would this not be a good idea?

      Thanks

        Thanks, Andrea. I think that would be fine, but I would transfer it from the freezer to the fridge about 24 hours prior to serving just so it's not too hard right when you take it out. Good luck!

      Hi I know this is an old post but wondered if you by any chance new the side of the pan you used? I wanted to make a smaller serving so wanted to rework the ingredient amounts thanks 🙂

        It was probably a 9" pie pan.
