Serves: 12
 
Adapted from OhSheGlows
Ingredients
  • Vegan Crust
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 2⅔ tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1-2 tbsp water (optional)
  • Vegan Custard
  • 11/2 cup soy milk (you want a creamier non-dairy milk)
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Topping: Strawberries, Blackberries (fruit of choice)
  • Maple Syrup for glaze (optional)
Instructions
  1. Crust: Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the all the crust ingredients.
  3. Using your hands, knead to form into a ball of dough (slowly add water until it binds).
  4. Oil a muffin tray.
  5. Divide your dough into 12 and form your tart shell base.
  6. Bake for 5-8 minutes minutes or until slightly brown! (Darker muffin pans, which is what I used will cook faster than lighter muffin pans)
  7. Set aside and let it cool.
  8. Filling: In a pot (OFF THE HEAT), whisk the cornstarch and milk together vigorously until cornstarch has dissolved.
  9. Add in the remaining fill-in ingredients.
  10. Over medium heat, bring mixture to a simmer. Keep stirring to prevent burning until mixture has thickened. This can take up to 5-10 mins or more. Let it cook until it has become quite thick.
  11. Divide the custard into the tarts to set.
  12. Cover and fridge for a few hours or until cold.
  13. Top with sliced fruit and a drizzle of maple syrup just before you serve!
Notes
This is best served cold, because the custard and the tart shell will harden and firm up.
*Also If want a shiny sheen on your fruit, mix together hot water and honey. Drizzle some on the fruit!*
