Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the Crust: In a food processor, combine sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, dates, cacao powder, cinnamon, and orange zest. Blend until crumbly yet sticky, about 1-2 minutes, then press into tart tins.
  2. Make the Ganache: In a mixing bowl, combine vegan creme fraiche with melted chocolate and extra orange zest. Stir vigorously until smooth, taking about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Assemble the Tarts: Fill crusts with the ganache mixture using a spatula. Tap pans lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles.
  4. Chill: Place tarts in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours to allow ganache to set.
  5. Decorate: Unmold tarts and sprinkle with edible gold dust or grated orange zest for a beautiful finish.
