This vegan White Chocolate Raspberry Tart recipe is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It’s easy to make, gluten-free, dairy-free and so delicious!
Vegan White Chocolate Raspberry Tart
No one will be able to resist the cookie-like and nutty tart crust filled with the perfect balance of sweetness and tart from the raspberry and white chocolate combo filling! It contains layers of textures with each bite, from the crunchy crust to the gelatinous fruity raspberry filling and the creamy white chocolate!
You would think that something so stunning and mouthwatering would be complicated to make, right? Not this one! It is so easy to put together using a few pantry staples!
Ingredients and Substitutes
It comes with three delicious layers of irresistible goodness – the tart crust, the raspberry filling, and the white chocolate filling. It is garnished with fresh fruits and coconut as a bonus!
Tart Crust
- Gluten-free Oats (ground into flour) – you can also use ready-made oat flour or substitute it with all-purpose, spelt or gluten-free 1 to 1 baking flour.
- Almonds (ground into flour) – you can ground whole almonds into flour by yourself as instructed or buy ready-made ground whole almonds. I do not recommend using almond flour because it is drier.
- Vegan butter – you can substitute it with coconut oil. Using margarine will not work as it may be too soft and the dough will not hold.
- Maple syrup – feel free to use other syrups like agave or coconut syrup.
- Salt – to taste
Raspberry Jelly Filling
- Raspberries – If you do not have fresh ones, you can also use frozen berries.
- Sugar – or use maple syrup or other syrups to make this recipe refined-sugar free.
- Agar powder – do not use agar flakes for this recipe.
- Water
White Chocolate Filling
- Vegan white chocolate – you can use cacao butter + 3 tablespoons of maple syrup instead. Or use regular white chocolate if you are not vegan.
- Coconut cream – this can be substituted with vegan cream cheese or cashew cream. Make your cashew cream at home by soaking 120 grams of raw cashews in water overnight (or boil for 10 minutes to speed this up). Then drain and blend with 80 ml of fresh water until it is smooth and creamy.
Garnish (use your favorite)
- Berries and fruits – I use raspberries, sugared cranberries, pomegranate, and desiccated coconut but you can use your favorite decorations.
Can I use other berries to make the filling?
Absolutely! While I find raspberry and white chocolate to be the perfect flavor duo, you can also use cherries, blueberries, strawberries, or other berries you like for the fruit layer.
Is this Vegan Tart Gluten-free?
The ingredients I used for this recipe are all gluten-free. Just make sure you are using gluten-free oats or flour. Since vegan white chocolate is made from cocoa butter, dairy-free milk, and sugar or syrup, it should also be free of gluten. However, I recommend checking the package details still. Some may contain it as part of manufacturing.
Can I use other nuts for the crust?
You can also substitute other nuts, such as hazelnuts, peanuts, walnuts, or whatever nuts you desire.
How to make White Chocolate Raspberry Tart
Step 1: Making the Tart Crust
Add the oats to a food processor or blender and blend until they turn to flour. Transfer in a bowl and whisk in the ground almonds and salt. Then add the melted vegan butter and maple syrup and stir with a wooden spoon or with your hands to combine. (If it’s too dry, add a little bit of water). Once it comes together, press the mixture evenly into the prepared tart pan, using your fingers (or the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass). Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated oven to 350°F (175°C), until golden brown. Place on a wire rack and allow it to cool. It will become crispier the more it cools down.
Step 2: Making the Raspberry layer
Start by adding the raspberries and 1/4 cup of the water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook for about 3 minutes until they become soft. In the meantime, pour the rest of the water into a bowl and whisk in the agar powder until it has completely dissolved. Set aside. Once the raspberries are soft, mash them with a spoon or fork, then add sugar and the agar mixture and bring to a boil again while stirring constantly. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly before pouring it into the pre-baked tart crust. Place it in the fridge or freeze for about 15 minutes, until the raspberry layer has set.
Step 3: Making the White chocolate layer
Now add the chopped vegan white chocolate pieces to a heatproof bowl and allow it to melt over a water bath. In a saucepan, warm the coconut cream. Then add the melted white chocolate and stir until smooth. Pour it into your prebaked tart crust over the raspberry layer. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight to set completely. Garnish with raspberries, sugared cranberries, red currants, pomegranate, and desiccated coconut or any toppings you like before serving. That’s it!
Tips when making White Chocolate Raspberry Tart
- If your crust mixture becomes too dry, you can add some water until you get to the right consistency.
- Before pouring the white chocolate filling, make sure that the raspberry filling has fully set. Otherwise, they will blend in together and won’t look as pretty.
- I took advantage of the abundant Christmas ingredients to garnish the tart for this recipe. But you can use other fruits and decorate your dessert to fit any occasion at any time of the year.

- Looking for a crust-less dessert? You could also make just the filling and the raspberry sauce, then fill it into glasses and serve as a vegan white chocolate panna cotta style dessert.
Can I make this ahead of time?
You can prepare just the crust or the whole tart ahead. Cover it tightly and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

I am not vegan so can I use regular milk and chocolate? Would this change the timing and directions?
Yes! 🙂
I absolutely love this tart and have now made it twice! I’m hoping to serve it tomorrow for friends and wondered how long it would stay together outside of the refrigerator?
I’m happy to hear that you love this tart. 🙂 The tart should stay together a few hours outside of the refrigerator if it’s not too warm.
Can i use coconut milk instead of coconut cream?
No, because coconut milk is too watery.
what can I substitute all types of nuts in this recipe as my family is allergic
You can use sunflower seeds! 🙂
Ich habe den Kuchen am Wochenende nachgemacht und mit zu meiner Schwester und ihrem Verlobten genommen. Wir waren alle hellauf begeistert und meine Schwester hat sich gestern noch mal bei mir gemeldet, um mir zu sagen, dass dieser Kuchen der beste sei, den sie jemals gegessen habe, dies nun ihr neuer Lieblingskuchen sei und hat mich gefragt, wo sie denn das Rezept finden könne. Ich habe natürlich auf deine Seite verwiesen und kann ihr nur beipflichten.
Vielen Dank für dieses großartige Kuchenrezept =)
Super, das freut mich sehr! Vielen Dank. 🙂 ♡
