Get a standard sized quiche or pie tin approximately 20-22cm diameter. Grease it by rubbing a little olive oil or coconut oil all around the sides and base.
Preheat the oven to 175C / 350F
Melt butter or coconut oil
Combine melted oil with coconut, syrup and cocoa powder in a bowl.
Press mixture all around the tin, so that it’s approximately 5mm thickness all over the base and up the sides.
Bake crust for 25 minutes- 30 minutes – check a couple of times from 20 minutes. You don’t want to get blackening, just darkening of the crust and a toasty, delicious aroma. That’s when it’s done. It will feel soft to the touch when fresh out of the oven, and harden as it cools.
Remove from the oven and once you can touch it, press down any ‘puffing’ that’s happened during baking.

When the crust goes into the oven, make your ganache.
Place the 260ml coconut cream, syrup and vanilla bean powder/paste in a saucepan until it simmers.
Then pour this hot mix into a mixing bowl, holding about 3 tablespoons back in the pan for emergency use later, if needed. Add your chocolate, whisking it through until silky and melted.
If the fats separate and your ganache looks to be a mess with a chocolate cottage cheese vibe (mm, yummy! not!), just add that additional coconut cream you saved back in, whisking swiftly to bring it all back together, silky smooth.
Once it looks gorgeous and silky then pour it into your tart shell once it's out of the oven and cooled for 10 minutes, just off the top of the crust level.
Place tart in fridge until ganache sets cool and firm. This will take about 90 minutes.
Remove it from quiche tin, gently releasing it from the edges.
Garnish with your seasonal garnish et voila!
