Many years ago Missy J's had an orange, ginger candy bar that had a "cult-like" following. Those that bought it, swore by it, and I agreed.
I'd hear, that the candy bar tastes exactly like the orange/chocolate Christmas treat that was shaped like an orange.
This unbelievably delicious, decadent, keto friendly tart is created as an ode to that candy bar
Vegan, no bake, orange, ginger, almond flour tart.
Serve it up to family and friends and watch the joy come over their face!!
