Oh, pomegranates. How I love you so.

Pomegranates have been one of my favorites fruits ever since I was a little one. My mom would set me up on a table outside with a cut pomegranate, only after she’d tucked a towel into my shirt to prevent me from getting red stains all over myself. I’d tear into those pomegranate chunks. It was a game, trying to find all the bright, jeweled seeds nestled into the pomegranate’s crevices.

Their tart, bright flavor and the way they *pop* in your mouth like little beads of juice has always been irresistible to me. So, it’s astounding that this is somehow my first pomegranate recipe. But, my friends, it’s a good one.

And it’s so, SO easy to make! 👏👏👏

How to make this Chocolate Pomegranate Tart:

First, you’ll make the simple chocolate crust. It’s a mixture of blanched almond flour, cacao powder, melted coconut oil, and pure maple syrup. I like to add a pinch of salt, too, just to amp up that chocolatey flavor. You’ll simply stir all the ingredients together and then press into a tart pan.

While the crust refrigerates, you’ll prep the chocolate ganache filling – also incredibly simple! We make the chocolate ganache primarily with dark chocolate and canned coconut milk. We also add some pure pomegranate juice, which adds a tart bite to the ganache and cuts through the richness of the chocolate.

Once the ganache is poured into the tart shell, you’ll garnish with a whole bunch of pomegranate arils. I used about 1/3 cup of arils, but honestly, I’d recommend adding even more than I did – than you’ll get pomegranate seeds bursting in your mouth with every bite!

Stirring some pomegranate seeds into the chocolate would also be delicious.

You’ll just need to refrigerate the tart until firm and you’re ready to serve. This tart is perfect on its own, but if you wanted to garnish with some coconut whipped cream, that wouldn’t be a bad idea.

I don’t have a tart pan! What else can I use?

You can absolutely make this recipe in an 8×8″ or 9×9″ square baking pan. I recommend lining with parchment paper for easy removal from the pan. You could also use an 8″ springform pan.
