Instructions
Preparation Steps
Lightly grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Line the base with parchment and set aside.
Make the crust: Add pistachios and oats to a food processor. Pulse until a fine, sandy meal forms.
Add almond flour, coconut sugar, and salt; pulse to combine.
Drizzle in melted coconut oil and vanilla. Pulse until the mixture holds together when pressed between fingers.
Press the crust evenly into the pan, going up the sides. Freeze for 15 minutes to set while you prepare the filling.
Place vegan white chocolate chips and cocoa butter in a heatproof bowl.
In a saucepan, whisk coconut milk, coconut cream, cornstarch, maple syrup, cardamom, and salt until smooth. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until just bubbling and slightly thickened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Pour the hot mixture over the white chocolate. Let sit 2 minutes, then whisk until silky smooth.
Pour filling into the chilled crust. Tap the pan gently to release air bubbles. Chill until fully set, about 3 to 4 hours.
Garnish with chopped pistachios, white chocolate shavings, and rose petals if using. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
For clean slices, warm a sharp knife under hot water and wipe between cuts. The tart keeps well refrigerated for up to 4 days. For a nut-free crust, swap pistachios and almond flour for 1.5 cups oat flour and add 2 tablespoons more coconut oil.
