• 1/2 cup coconut milk
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• Sea salt flakes for garnish

Tools Needed

• 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom
• Mixing bowl
• Whisk or fork
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Saucepan
• Rubber spatula

Suggested Substitutions and Additions

• If you prefer, you can use ghee or butter in place of coconut oil for the crust.

How to Make Sinful Caramel Chocolate Tart Gluten Free Indulgence

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour and salt. Stir in the melted coconut oil and honey until it forms a crumbly dough. Press this mixture into the bottom and up the sides of your 9-inch tart pan evenly. You’ll know it’s the right thickness when it feels sturdy in your hands but still holds together when pressed.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until it’s golden brown. The aroma wafting from your oven is irresistible. Allow it to cool completely in the pan while you prepare the filling.

Step 2: Make the Chocolate Filling

In a saucepan, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut milk over medium heat. Stir frequently until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. You’ll see it turn into a beautiful, glossy mixture—like a rich, dark river! Remove it from the heat, and let it sit for a few minutes before pouring it into the cooled tart crust.

Step 3: Layer the Caramel

Once the chocolate layer has set for about 30 minutes (it will still be slightly gooey), gently drizzle the caramel sauce over the top. Use a rubber spatula to spread it evenly, ensuring that every bite will have that heavenly caramel sweetness. Optional: sprinkle a few sea salt flakes on top before letting it set for at least another hour in the fridge.

Tips for Making It Perfect

For the best crust, ensure you fully mix the almond flour with the other ingredients to prevent crumbly sections.

If your chocolate ganache seems too thin, let it sit on the counter for an additional 10-15 minutes before pouring it into the tart crust—this will help it set nicely.

Consider making the tart a day ahead of your event; it allows the flavors to meld beautifully overnight!

Double the batch if you’re expecting guests—it won’t last long!

Storage Instructions
