Walnut Chocolate Pumpkin Tart - Vegetarian, Healthy and Delicious

Walnut Chocolate Pumpkin Tart - Vegetarian, Healthy and Delicious

Walnut Chocolate Pumpkin Tart … a tart full of memories! If you’ve been following my blog, it’s no secret that I absolutely adore including walnuts as an ingredient in my baking. Often ‘the more, the merrier’ is norm and an overdose of this delicious nut is most welcome. So when the California Walnut Board invited me to San Francisco, I was thrilled to be part of the special media group for the 2018 Harvest Tour.

Walnut Chocolate Pumpkin Tart is wholegrain & eggless, and full of delicious healthy walnuts. It can go vegan with a few changes. I also used some finger licking good walnut butter in this, jars of which we carried back home. It's the best thing in the world. You must make some!
