- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar

Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease tart pan with butter.
-
In mixing bowl, mix together crust ingredients until well combined and dough forms. (Note: Use hands if needed.)
-
Evenly press dough into pan, taking time and care to mold it into a crust as perfectly as possible. Bake 15 minutes, after which point, turn oven down to 325 degrees F. (Note: Crust is not meant to be finished in this step and will be baked again.)
-
In saucepan over medium-low heat, heat coconut cream and milk until slightly simmering.
-
Add chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Add coconut sugar, maple syrup and sea salt and whisk until well incorporated. Whisk in eggs until filling is completely smooth.
-
Pour filling into tart shell and bake at 325 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes until filling is set. (Note: If any bubbles or cracks form on surface, take out immediately as these indicate that tart is beginning to be over-baked.)
-
Arrange strawberries on top to finish.
-
In double boiler or saucepan, melt chocolate bar and drizzle over top of tart. (Note: Tart is best served at room temperature on day it is made.)
