- Press mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Chill in the freezer for 20–30 minutes until set.
- Make the filling: Heat coconut cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Pour over chopped chocolate in a bowl. Let sit for 2–3 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Stir in coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt until fully incorporated.
- Assemble the tart: Pour chocolate filling into the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
