This Chocolate Berry Tart has vegan chocolate ganache in an almond flour crust, topped with fresh berries! This easy, impressive dessert recipe is Paleo, gluten-free, vegan, and refined sugar-free.

Remember this Dark Chocolate, Coconut & Macadamia Nut Tart? If you don’t…go look. I’ll wait…
See it? Good. Well, after so many people made it (and loved it!) I knew I needed to create a new version. So this time around the paleo, gluten-free, vegan tart block, I went summery. I got inspired by the gorgeous berries staring at me in the market and knew I could create a gorgeous and damn delicious berry tart with them.
Let’s make a beautiful Chocolate Berry Tart!
The crust is absolutely delicious and simple to make. It’s made with:
- Shredded Coconut
- Almond Flour
- Maple Syrup
- Coconut Oil
- Salt
We love a simple recipe! It’s crisp, holds up well without getting soggy, and has a delicious flavor. The coconut is subtle. It doesn’t majorly impact the flavor if you’re not a coconut lover, it just adds a lovely texture to the crust. However, if you’re majorly anti-coconut, you can use all almond flour.
For the chocolate berry filling
Because I’m a chocoholic, I had to use a delicious vegan chocolate ganache for the filling of this chocolate berry tart. To jazz it up and add extra *oomph* I added a healthy dose of 100% raspberry preserves. The preserves add an amazing fruity sweetness to the chocolate. You can customize this by using whatever fruit and fruit preserves that you want. You could also leave the preserves out, but they add a delicious flavor so I recommend keeping them in!
I topped it with those gorgeous berries, and voila! Beautiful, healthy, and delicious. I use blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries on top, but you can use your favorite berry or berry combo.
Strawberry would of course be amazing (hello, a chocolate strawberry tart?! Might be next on my to-do list), as would more tropical fruits like banana or mango. Even cherries would be a great addition. Yum!
The possibilities here are endless, and I do hope you’ll try it! If you do, make sure to let me know what you think. If you make any changes, let everyone know how they turned out in the comments section! Enjoy!

Chocolate Berry Tart (Gluten-Free, Vegan, & Paleo)
Ingredients
- For the crust½ cup, 40g unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1½ cups 190g blanched almond flour
- 2 tablespoons 30g coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons 30g maple syrup
- ¼ tsp salt
- For the ganache½ cup canned full-fat coconut milk
- 6 oz. 140g bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- ¼ cup raspberry preserves, 100% fruit
- For the toppingAssorted fresh berries or fruit of your choice, I used raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries
Instructions
- For the crustPreheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, pulse together almond flour, salt and shredded coconut until finely ground. Melt together coconut oil and maple syrup and add to almond flour and coconut mixture. Pulse until coarse crumbs form (dough should clump together when squeezed with fingers).
- Transfer dough to a greased 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Using a measuring cup or your fingers, evenly press dough in bottom and up sides of pan.
- Bake in center of oven until golden and firm, about 12-16 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, at least 1 hour.
- For the ganachePlace finely chopped chocolate in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, just bring coconut milk to a boil. Pour hot coconut milk over chocolate and let stand 1 minute, then stir until smooth and creamy. Stir in raspberry preserves.
- To assemble the tartPour warm chocolate mixture into cooled tart shell. Allow to cool for about 20 minutes, and then arrange the berries (or whatever fruit you are using) on top as desired. Chill for at least one hour or until set and serve.






Such a beautiful tart! It most definitely does NOT look healthy. I would love a slice or three!
This is gorgeous! I loved your last chocolate-macadamia tart, and I love this one as well! Everything is better with fresh summer berries!
Wow, so pretty with all those colors! Ganache and preserves are always a good thing : ) This sounds wonderful!
This is so pretty! It definitely doesn’t look vegan, gluten free and paleo! I would never know the difference. Gorgeous! :)
Since it’s vegan that means I can eat two slices, right?
Wow! That is one gorgeous tart! Those berries look amazing! I am a HUGE fan of the berry + chocolate combo. That tart is totally calling my name! I can’t believe it’s vegan, paleo, and GF!
I am soooooooo impressed with your special dietary restriction dessert skills. I am LOST without butter and sugar but chocolate and berries? I can totally get behind that. This is gorgeous girl!!!
Thanks so much! After my sister became GF and mostly SF (and tried out the paleo diet) I was determined to make pretty, and not only edible but DELICIOUS desserts that she and everyone else can enjoy. The best thing about this tart is how non-obviously healthy it is, haha.
This looks unbelievable… is it wrong that, immediately after marvelling at that fact that something so decadent could be vegan, I wondered how on Earth you managed to slice it so neatly? Thank you for a gorgeous post!
Haha thank you!! I definitely put a little effort into making them straight, haha.
This looks so good. If I make it without the coconut, should I change the amount of flour? I like coconut but my guests may not.
Thanks
Michele
Yes add an extra half cup of almond flour if you skip the coconut!
This looks sooo freaking good. Omg, I can’t wait to give it a try and share it with my paleo friends!! I think they’re going to really enjoy it. Chocolate is just so amazing. Thanks for the recipe Rach!! XO
