• 2-3 Tbsp. pure maple syrup

Caramel layer

• 1 can coconut cream
• 2/3 cup coconut sugar

Instructions

1. For vegan caramel, combine coconut sugar and coconut cream in small saucepan and bring to simmer.
2. Reduce heat and keep simmering over low heat for about 30-40 minutes, stirring every few minutes until it thickens.

4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 9-in. tart pan with coconut oil and set aside.

Bake for 10-15 minutes until crust appears golden brown. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack.
6. For chocolate ganache layer, heat coconut milk and maple syrup in small saucepan over medium heat. Transfer to bowl, add in cacao wafers and let sit for 2 minutes. With whisk or spatula, stir mixture into creamy ganache.
