What do you make when it is a bazillion degrees out and you can’t bear the thought of switching on the oven but you still want a delicious dessert that isn’t yet another ice cream? Make this vegan no-bake chocolate tart with stem ginger of course!

It seems like we are stuck in a never-ending heatwave in the UK at the moment and I have to admit that I am getting a bit fed up of the heat! Don’t get me wrong, I love warm weather… If I am on a beach. But having to get up early every day (I am NOT a morning person) to walk Ringo before it gets too hot, coupled with not sleeping well due to the heat is taking it’s toll.

I have been fuelling myself with plenty of iced coffee, sorbet and slithers of this vegan no-bake chocolate tart with stem ginger. It is an incredibly easy dessert to make that doesn’t require you to switch on the oven; but it tastes so good that you would never know that it is such low effort.

It consists of a Oreo crust (yes – Oreos are accidentally vegan as are many of the copycat varieties, but do check the packet to be sure as the recipe may vary from country to country); and it is filled with a silky smooth coconut milk chocolate ganche and chopped stem ginger.

Stem ginger is one of those things that most people will buy a jar of to use in recipes at Christmas and then forget about for the rest of the year. But I love baking with ginger all year round. It is one of my favourite flavours, is so versatile and pairs well with so many things that it seems a shame to consign it solely to the Winter.

I use Opies stem ginger which is made using only the finest young stem ginger which is specially sourced from southern China. It is derived from the tender young roots of the ginger plant. As young ginger is used, this ensures a soft texture and no horrible ginger ‘stringy bits’.

It is not just the ginger itself that is useful too, the syrup it comes in can be used for all manner of things such as cocktails, hot chocolate, or flavouring the ganache in this tart. Opies stem ginger is available in all major supermarkets.

Chocolate and ginger is a classic combination for good reason; but ginger also works well with summer berries, as does chocolate; so I like to decorate this no-bake chocolate tart with lots of fresh fruit. The freshness of which also helps to temper the richness of the tart as well as making it look stunning.

If you are decorating with fruit however, be sure not to put it on the tart until shortly before serving as after a while it will weep and make the ganache soggy.

How To Make Vegan No-Bake Chocolate Tart With Stem Ginger:

Start by making the biscuit base. Whiz up some Oreos (or other chocolate biscuits) in a food processor; or just give them a good bash with a rolling pin. Then stir in melted vegan butter.

Press the mixture firmly into a tart tin and pop it in the fridge to firm up.

To make the ganache filling, heat full-fat coconut milk with some stem ginger syrup until just boiling then pour it over chopped chocolate and stir until smooth.

Scatter some chopped stem ginger over the Oreo crust and pour over the ganache. Pop the tart in the fridge for about 4 hours until firm then decorate with fresh fruit and chopped stem or crystallised ginger and serve.

Can It Be Made In Advance?:

Yes. The tart can be made up to two days in advance and kept covered in the fridge until ready to serve. Don’t add any decorations until shortly before serving however as they won’t last long.

Ingredients

Base:

  • 2 packets of Oreos/308g/28 biscuits
  • 80 g (1/3 cup) vegan butter (or coconut oil) melted

Filling:

  • 3 balls stem ginger finely chopped
  • 300 g (10.5 oz) dairy free dark chocolate, 70% cocoa solids chopped
  • 250 ml (1 cup) full fat coconut milk
  • 4 Tbsp syrup from a jar of stem ginger (or use maple syrup)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • fresh berries and finely chopped crystallised or stem ginger to decorate

Instructions

  1. Place the Oreos in a food processor and blitz until finely chopped. Alternatively, place them in a sealable freezer bag wrapped in a tea towel and bash them with a rolling pin.

  2. Tip the crumbs into a bowl and stir in the melted vegan butter. The mixture should resemble wet sand.

  3. Tip the Oreo mixture into a 23-25cm/9-10in loose bottomed tart tin and press it across the base and most of the way up the sides. Use the base of a glass to pack it down really firmly. Place in the fridge for half an hour to firm up.

  4. Place the chopped chocolate in a heat proof bowl. Heat the coconut milk, stem ginger syrup and vanilla extract until just boiling then pour it over the chocolate. Set aside for two minutes then stir gently until it is melted and smooth.

  5. Scatter the chopped stem ginger over the Oreo base then pour over the ganache. Pop the tart in the fridge for around 4 hours (or overnight) until firm.

  6. Shortly before serving, decorate the tart with fresh fruit and chopped crystallised or stem ginger. Keep refrigerated.

    Beautiful recipe, I am saving to try soon… now, I am not sure as the owner of your site you realize how many ads crowd your page? I realize the need to monetize a site, sometimes that’s what one needs to do, but honestly it’s a bit much – maybe you are not aware of it, but it’s compromising the experience of browsing your site.

      Hi Sally, thank you! I hope you enjoy the tart! Unfortunately, without ads I simply couldn’t afford to keep the blog going. I blog full-time and the ads are my main source of income (which is not large!); I don’t have any more of them than the majority of blogs of my size. I provide all of my recipes for free so the ads really are a necessity for me.

        Fair enough! I just wanted to make sure you are aware of it, because some bloggers don’t have any idea… but you must do what you must do! 😉 You got a great site!

    The tart looks amazing. It’s funny how much complex are traditional desert recipes and then you find a simple, super-easy to make recipe like this one which blows your mind.

    How do you get it out of the tart tin? I used coconut oil for my base and it’s stuck solid!

      Hi Amy, I use a loose-bottomed tart tin and found that it didn’t stick too badly around the edges so I was able to slide the rim of the tin off without a problem. I used a metal cake lifter to prise the base away from the tin. Gently warming the outside of the tin to soften the coconut oil a little could work.

    This looks so delicious!!
    This might be a silly question, but is Opies stem ginger in syrup definitely suitable for vegans? It doesn’t say vegan or vegetarian on their packaging, and I’ve tried emailing them to ask, but I haven’t had a response! I want to make this tart, but I need to double check that the ginger is definitely vegan-friendly
    Thanks so much!

      Hi Olivia, I can’t find anything to say that it isn’t suitable for vegans, and as pretty much all sugar in the UK is vegan friendly I can’t see why it wouldn’t be. Obviously I can’t say for sure as I don’t know their recipe. If it is a big concern for you then you can make your own stem ginger – here’s a recipe: https://www.talesfromthekitchenshed.com/2016/10/homemade-stem-ginger/ I hope you enjoy it!

  • After realising the other day that I hadn't posted any Valentine's day recipes I quickly whipped up this easy vegan chocolate raspberry skillet cookie for two. It is gooey in the middle, crispy around the edge and perfect for sharing straight from the skillet!

  • #Ad This pancake day why not #banishthebeige and swap the usual boring beige pancakes for these ultra colourful ones stacked with M&M’s® Spread with crispy pieces and fresh berries?! They are perfect for a fun pancake party and the crispy chocolatey spread, juicy berries and fluffy vanilla pancakes are so good together!

To make them, whisk together 250g plain flour, 2 ½ Tbsp cornflour (cornstarch), 2 ½ tsp baking powder and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Add 300ml milk of your choice, 5 Tbsp sunflower oil, 100ml maple syrup or agave nectar, 2 tsp vanilla extract and 2 ½ tsp cider vinegar and whisk until smooth.

Divide the batter equally between 4 small bowls and use a little gel food colouring in your choice of colours to colour each one. I used pink, purple, blue and turquoise. Place a good non-stick frying pan over a medium-low heat (if your pan isn't very non-stick then you will need to lightly grease it). Use 2 Tbsp batter per pancake and cook until bubbles appear in the surface; carefully flip the pancakes over and cook for about 20-30 seconds more, until lightly browned. Keep the pancakes warm in a low oven while you cook the rest. You should get 5 small pancakes per colour.

To serve, spread a little M&M’s® Spread with crispy pieces on to a pancake and top with a few berries. Top with another pancake, more spread and berries until the stack is 4 pancakes high. Repeat with the remaining pancakes. Serves 5.

  • This Valentine's Day we'll be sipping on Fentimans Rose Lemonade with gin garnished with strawberries, mint and pomegranate. I love  @fentimansltd rose lemonade all year round but it's beautiful pink colour and delicate floral flavour make it particularly well suited to Valentine's Day. It is not only delicious on it's own, but it also makes a great mixer for a floral gin so why not go ahead and treat yourself (or your partner) this Valentine's Day! #ad #Fentimans #LoveYourself

Rose And Gin: Mix 50ml of floral gin with 125ml Fentiman's Rose Lemonade in a highball or copa glass over ice. Garnish as you please with  strawberries, mint and pomegranate arils; or with lemon or cucumber depending on the gin.
