• Press base mixture into a loose base fluted rectangular tin or evenly divide into mini tart tins. Place in freezer for 1-2 hours to firm up.

• Combine all filling ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth and no avocado chunks remain. Sweeten to taste, the higher percentage of cacao in your dark chocolate, the more bitter so adjust accordingly.
