- 1/4 cup (30g) almond meal
- 1/4 cup (30g) dutch-processed cocoa
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 30 grams (1oz) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup (60ml) pure maple syrup
- 1 1/2 tablespoons light sour cream
- 1 egg
- 1 egg white
- 1/2 cup (140g) natural yoghurt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
- 20 grams (¾oz) dark (semi-sweet) chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 1 cup (150g) fresh cherries, pitted
- 1/2 cup (75g) blueberries
- 1/2 cup (75g) fresh or frozen blackberries
- Small fresh mint leaves, to serve
Method
- 1Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F. Grease and line a 22cm (9in) loose-based tart tin.
- 2Pulse oats in a food processor until they resemble flour. Transfer to a large bowl; sift in almond meal, cocoa and baking powder.
- 3Place butter, maple syrup, sour cream, egg and egg white in a medium bowl; whisk until combined. Fold egg mixture into oat mixture until combined; transfer mixture to tin.
- 4Spread oat mixture over base of tin, creating a 2cm (¾in) rim up side of tin to form a 'crust' around the edge. Bake for 15 minutes or until firm and dry; cool completely in tin.
- 5Meanwhile, mix yoghurt and vanilla bean paste in a small bowl until combined; refrigerate until required.
- 6Melt chocolate. Remove cookie base from tin; spread with yoghurt mixture. Arrange cherries and berries on top. Drizzle with chocolate and sprinkle with mint to serve.
