With Valentine’s Day around the corner, you might still be scrambling for a dessert that says “I love you” without screaming “I bought this at the grocery store at the last minute.” If so, you’ve come to the right place.
I’ve got the perfect sweet treat for you: a Fig and Mushroom Chocolate Tart. It’s rich, chocolatey, and laced with an unexpected but totally genius addition (*whispers*: mushroom powder) for that deep, earthy complexity. AND, it’s got fresh figs on top to add a naturally sweet, jammy finish that practically flirts with your taste buds. (If you’ve never paired figs with chocolate, prepare to have your mind blown.)
Oh, and did I mention it’s gluten-free and made with almond flour? So if your Valentine avoids gluten, they’ll love you forever for this one! If they don’t, well, they’ll still love you because it’s that good.
Let’s get into it.
Why This Recipe Works (and Why You Should Make It ASAP)
Rich and Indulgent: The dark chocolate ganache filling is SO silky smooth and balanced with just the right amount of sweetness.
Fig-Topped Beauty: Those sliced figs aren’t just for looks. They bring a natural sweetness that also balances the deep cocoa flavor.
Surprisingly Simple: No fancy techniques required. If you can mix, bake, and pour, you can make this.
Gluten-Free Goodness: Thanks to almond flour, this tart is naturally free of gluten but still has a beautiful, crisp texture.
Earthy Depth: The mushroom powder adds an umami quality without making it taste like a stir-fry. (I promise).
The Health Benefits of These Ingredients
Almond Flour : A great gluten-free alternative that’s packed with healthy fats and protein.
Mushroom Powder: Adds antioxidants and adaptogens, helping with immunity and stress relief (because, let’s be real, Valentine’s Day can be stressful).
Dark Chocolate: Full of flavonoids that support heart health. So very on-brand for this holiday.
Fresh Figs: High in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Plus, they help with digestion, so you don’t feel like a brick after dessert.
Ingredients
For the Crust:
2 cups almond flour
1 Tbsp mushroom powder
¼ cup cacao powder
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
½ tsp sea salt
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
8 Tbsp coconut oil (melted)
For the Chocolate Ganache Filling:
8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup full-fat coconut cream
1 Tbsp mushroom powder
For Topping:
Fresh figs, sliced
Substitutes & Swaps (Because Life Happens)
No almond flour? Swap in oat flour for a different but still delicious crust.
No mushroom powder? Skip it! Your tart will still be amazing. Just missing a hint of earthy depth.
No coconut cream? Use heavy cream if dairy isn’t an issue.
No fresh figs? Try dried figs for a chewy contrast, or go wild with a drizzle of honey on top instead.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, mushroom powder, cacao powder, dark brown sugar, and sea salt.
Stir in the vanilla extract and melted coconut oil until a dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into four greased 4-inch tart shells. Make sure to press it to the sides as well, so you make almost a bowl shape.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until firm.
Remove from oven and let cool completely.
Step 2: Make the Ganache
Heat coconut cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just starts to simmer.
Pour it over the chocolate chips in a small bowl. Let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and glossy.
Stir in mushroom powder until fully incorporated.
Step 3: Assemble the Tarts
Pour the ganache evenly into the cooled tart crusts. Smooth out the tops.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
Step 4: Add the Figs & Serve
Once set, top each tart with sliced figs.
Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Pro Tips for Perfect Tarts
Use a lightly floured surface if rolling out any excess dough for patching up crusts.
If your ganache splits (looks grainy), whisk in a little warm coconut cream to smooth it out.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. (Though let’s be real, there won’t be leftovers.)
FAQs
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! These tarts are best when chilled, so making them the night before your dinner party is actually a power move.
Does the mushroom powder make this taste like mushrooms?
Nope! It just adds a subtle depth, kind of like a pinch of salt does.
Can I use a cake pan instead?
You could press the dough into a cake pan, but getting slices out might be tricky. A tart pan with a removable bottom is your best bet.
Can I freeze these tarts?
Yes! Wrap them in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container for up to a month. Thaw before serving.
Where do I get fresh figs if they’re out of season?
If it’s not fig season, check specialty markets.
Do I need to use a food processor?
Nope! A paddle attachment on a stand mixer would work, or even just a whisk and some elbow grease.

A few years ago, I started experimenting with making various candies. Chocolates. Cotton candy (what a mess!). And eventually gummies, which ended up being my favorite to make. And, if you know me, you know I love to figure out all the different ways I can turn food into medicine or enhance the benefits of little snacks. Eventually, I came up with these little guys!
And no, these are not your typical convenient store candies. These are next-level, gut-friendly, nutrient-packed blueberry and lemon gummies that are easy to whip up and even easier to snack on. Chasing healthier skin, better digestion, or just a fun treat to add to your weekly routine? These gummies are here to deliver! Plus, they’re a great way to sneak in some serious health benefits without anyone suspecting you’re doing something (gasp!) responsible.
Why This Recipe Works
Simple Ingredients: Just a handful of wholesome items, like blueberries, lemon juice, and coconut water. No hard-to-pronounce additives here.
Gut Health Boost: If your gelatin mixture is high-quality bovine gelatin, you’ll get some amazing benefits to your gut lining and digestive system. But you can also opt for other types of gelatin, like porcine gelatin, fish gelatin or the vegan agar-agar. Each come with their own unique benefits.
Natural Sweetness: Maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness without spiking your blood sugar.
Convenience: The prep time is minimal, and the hardest part is waiting for them to set in the fridge.
The Benefits of these Ingredients
Blueberries: These little blue dynamos are packed with antioxidants, which fight inflammatory responses and support overall health. They’re also rich in vitamin C and promote healthy skin.
Lemon Juice: Loaded with vitamin C and known to support the immune system. A splash of lime juice could also work here if you’re out of lemons.
Coconut Water: Hydrating and full of electrolytes. Think of it as your digestive tract’s best friend.
Bovine Gelatin: A gut-healing hero that’s loaded with collagen. It also helps improve intestinal permeability (hello, leaky gut support!) and strengthens connective tissue. It’s the most abundant protein in the animal kingdom for good reason.
Ingredients
1/2 cup coconut water
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup gelatin
2 heaping cups of blueberries
4 tablespoons maple syrup
Substitutions
If you’re missing an ingredient, don’t worry. There are plenty of swaps to make this recipe work:
Coconut Water: Sub with coconut milk or even plain water for a different texture.
Lemon Juice: Lime juice or orange juice can bring a different citrus vibe.
Maple Syrup: A small amount of honey or agave syrup will do the trick.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Hydrate the Gelatin: Pour the coconut water and lemon juice into your blender. Sprinkle the gelatin over the liquid and make sure it doesn’t touch the blades. Let it sit for 2 minutes to form a gel-like substance.
Blend It Up: Add the blueberries and maple syrup to the blender. Blend on low for 5 minutes to combine everything.
Go High Power: Turn the blender to high and let it run for 1 minute. This ensures the gelatin mixture is evenly distributed.
Pour and Chill: Pour the juice mixture into silicone molds or a baking dish. Refrigerate for 1 hour until the gummies set.
Store and Snack: Pop the gummies out of the molds and store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll keep for up to 3 days, but good luck making them last that long.
Tips for Success
Warm Liquid: If your gelatin clumps, try using slightly warm liquid to dissolve it better.
Fine Mesh Sieve: For a smoother texture, strain the mixture before pouring it into molds.
Big Batch: Double or triple the recipe if you want to keep a stash for the whole week.
Silicone Molds: These make the best gummy shapes and are super easy to pop out.
FAQs
Can I use another kind of juice?
Totally! Just make sure to stick to a cup of liquid overall. Pineapple juice and orange juice are great choices, but steer clear of fresh pineapple—it can mess with the gelatin’s ability to set.
Are these safe for kids?
Absolutely. These healthy gummies are a fun and nutritious snack for all ages.
Can I freeze them?
Yep! Store them in an airtight container and freeze for up to a month. Thaw in the fridge overnight before eating.
