Ingredients
- 100 grams of honey or pure maple syrup
- 75 grams of coconut oil, solid state
- 175 grams of whole wheat flour or almond flour
- 3 medium eggs
- 1 tsp natural vanilla extract
- 500 ml almond milk or coconut milk
- 1 vanilla pod
- 45 grams of cornstarch or arrowroot powder for a custard-like consistency
- 6 sheets of gelatin (or agar agar for a vegan option)
- 250 ml of light coconut cream
- 5 lemons
- 2 packets of natural fruit pectin (for gelling)
- 1/4 pineapple
- 1/4 mango
- 50 grams strawberries
- 50 grams cherries
- 50 grams blackberries
- 50 grams blueberries
- 1 kiwi
- 50 grams grapes
- Optional edible flowers for decoration
Equipment Needed
- 1 food processor
- Plastic wrap
- 1 tart pan (28-30 cm)
- Blind baking fillers (ceramic baking beans or uncooked rice)
- 1 sheet of parchment paper
- 1 rolling pin
- 1 large mixing bowl
Instructions
- Make the dough: In a food processor, blend coconut oil, whole wheat or almond flour, 1 egg, and vanilla extract until a dough forms. Flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Prepare the filling: Heat 400 ml of almond or coconut milk with honey or maple syrup. Scrape seeds from the vanilla pod into the milk. Mix cornstarch or arrowroot powder with 2 egg yolks and 100 ml of milk in a bowl. Stir this mixture into the hot milk and cook for 2 minutes until thickened. Add zest from 2 lemons, stir well, and pour onto a plate. Cover and chill for 15 minutes.
- Prepare the gelatin: Soak gelatin or agar agar in cold water for 5 minutes. Melt in a small amount of heated coconut cream. Whip the remaining coconut cream with a bit of honey and lemon juice until stiff.
- Combine: Stir the chilled mixture to loosen, blend in the gelatin or agar, then fold in the whipped cream. Set aside.
- Blind bake the base: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out the dough and line the tart pan. Blind bake as instructed previously.
- Assemble: Add the filling to the base and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Fruit gel topping: Mix natural fruit pectin with a little honey and water, bring to a boil, and cool. Arrange sliced fruits in a rainbow pattern on the tart and pour over the gel. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Garnish: Decorate with optional edible flowers before serving.
Notes
- Tip: A tart made with just red fruit or two colors can also be very appealing.
