Sumo Citrus Ganache Tarts

Sumo season has to be my favorite season. Like, my love for them runs DEEP.. Nothing brings me joy quite like walking into a grocery store and seeing the massive Sumo display. It’s the little things, you know? If you haven’t tried them.. RUN! And then make these sumo citrus ganache tarts!

I don’t know if it’s because they aren’t a pain-in-the-butt to peel, or because they’re just huge and juicy, but they are, in my opinion, the superior citrus for sure! They’re also a dream to incorporate into treats! I love dipped slices of them in chocolate and popping them in the fridge for a little sweet treat.

What do you need to make these sumo Citrus ganache tarts?

Sumo Citrus: You could sub any citrus you’d like, but sumo’s are my favorite!

Chocolate: High quality chocolate is key as it makes up the filling of this recipe! I use Hu Kitchen, as always. You can use “danishealthyeats” for a discount!

Raw Almonds: This will make up the crust! You can sub any nut or seeds, I just love that almonds offer a neutral taste.

Dates: The dates are the binder for the crust! It helps hold everything together while adding a sweetness, too!

Canned Coconut Milk: This will be used to create the ganache filling! It adds such a rich, decadent texture!

Maple Syrup: This adds sweetness to the recipe. You can sub any sticky sweetener!

How to make the tarts:

1. Process the base ingredients together and press into the ramekins.
2. Mix the filling ingredients together on the stovetop. Divide amongst the ramekins.
3. Candy the sumo citrus slices, if using for garnish!
4. Let them set up in the freezer! Enjoy!
