- 1/2 cup 120.00 ml maple syrup *avoid if following The Myers Way® or AIP diet
For the Chocolate Filling
- 1 1/2 cups 360.00 ml coconut milk
- 2 3/4 cups 660.00 ml dark chocolate chunks Hu or Enjoy Life brand
- 1 tsp 4.93 ml vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp 1.23 ml sea salt

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Add the cassava flour, cocoa powder, protein powder, and sea salt in a bowl. Stir to combine.
- Add the melted coconut oil and maple syrup (optional) to the dry ingredients and stir until a crumbly dough forms.
- Grease an 11” tart pan with coconut oil or palm shortening, and press the dough into the pan. You can use the flat bottom of a measuring cup to make the base of the crust flat and smooth.
- Bake the crust for 12 minutes, and remove from the oven to cool.
- While the crust is baking, heat the coconut milk over medium heat on the stovetop until simmering. You’ll want to whisk or blend the coconut milk prior to heating so it is very smooth.
- Add the dark chocolate chunks to a bowl and carefully pour the coconut milk over top the chocolate.
- Let sit for about 30 seconds for the chocolate chunks to melt, then stir together until smooth.
- Add the vanilla extract and sea salt to the chocolate mixture and stir.
- Pour the chocolate mixture onto the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for about 2 hours until the chocolate filling is firm.
- Remove from the fridge and sprinkle with flake sea salt. Cut into slices and serve.
