This Healthy Nutella Tart Will Blow You Away
Officially created in 1964, Nutella has become one of the most beloved spreads in the world. With a Nutella Bar in Eataly and countless other dedicated restaurants, the fan-favorite spread was conceived in a tiny Italian town and has since expanded to over 160 countries.
Although Nutella is extremely popular, it is loaded with sugar. Luckily, this recipe steals the flavor we all know an love from Nutella, but leaves the added sugar in the jar for a healthy, vegan option.
Because the Nutella tart is made with cacao nibs, this good-for-you dessert provides loads of fiber, antioxidants and magnesium. While it is super healthy, this cashew-crusted tart also tastes unreal.
BEWARE: This vegan tart is highly addictive.
