This recipe is a celebration of raspberry. The nutty shortbready crust and the smooth chocolatey fudge filling are the backbeat and the bass line for the raspberry jam front and centre. As with all my recipes this is completely vegan and I use natural, minimally processed sweeteners because we should all be able to enjoy a few moments of indulgence and still look after ourselves. And if it's a truly special moment of indulgence, serve this one with fresh raspberries and coconut yogurt and take it to the next level!

Preheat the oven to 165°C.
Place all ingredients into a food processor and process into a loose dough.
In a non-stick quiche tin 200x27mm; press the dough evenly along the base and sides of the tin. Prick the base with a fork before a blind bake.
Line with baking paper and fill with ceramic beads, rice or dried beans. Bake for 5-7 minutes in the oven.
Remove baking paper and weights used for the blind baking and bake for another 10 minutes until slightly golden. Set aside to cool completely.
Place cacao butter and cacao powder in a saucepan over low heat, stir until fully combined with no lumps. Add almond butter and continue stirring.
Then add syrup, vanilla powder and salt and stir for another minute until sauce thickens.
Spread evenly over pre baked tart base. Chill for 25 minutes.
Place raspberry and chia seeds in a heavy based saucepan over medium-low heat and bring to boil.
Once the mixture starts bubbling, stir constantly while pressing down the raspberries with the back of the spoon for 5 minutes.
Remove from the stove and allow to cool and thicken. Gentle spread jam over firm fudge and chill until ready to serve.
