Method:

If the dates are not super soft already, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes.

Pulse the (soaked) dates and almonds in  food processor until quite fine. Add melted chocolate, coconut oil and salt, then continue processing until incorporated. Press the crust mixture firmly into a 9 inch round tart pan with removable bottom and chilli until set.

In the meantime, clean the food processor. Heat coconut cream, chocolate and coconut oil until melted. Add these to the food processor together with the dates and vanilla extract. Process until everything is combined and completely smooth.

Fill the chocolate tart filling until hardened crust. Chill the tart until set (about 2-3 hours).
