Decadent Macadamia Chocolate Tart with a Crispy Nutty Granola Crust

A rich and indulgent chocolate tart with a crunchy granola and macadamia nut crust, perfect for dessert lovers looking for texture and deep chocolate flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups granola (preferably nutty or seed-based)
  • 1/2 cup macadamia nuts, chopped
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 1/4 cups dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: extra chopped macadamias and flaky sea salt for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a tart pan with a removable bottom.
  2. In a bowl, mix granola, chopped macadamia nuts, melted butter, and honey or maple syrup until well combined.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the tart pan to form a crust.
  4. Bake the crust for 10–12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
  5. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
  6. Add the chocolate, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the hot cream. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
  7. Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is set.
  9. Garnish with additional chopped macadamias and flaky sea salt before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for best flavor.
  • The tart can be made a day ahead and kept refrigerated.
  • For a vegan version, use coconut cream and dairy-free chocolate.
