Ingredients

Crunchy Crust:

  • 150 g | 1.5 cup rolled oats - Gf if needed
  • 50 g | 1/2 cup almond flour
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 30 g | 1.5 Tbsp coconut sugar
  • 30 g | 1.5 Tbsp vegan butter / coconut oil - melted

Raspberry Jelly:

  • 240 g | 2 cups raspberries - fresh or frozen
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 180 ml | 3/4 cup water
  • 1.5 Tbsp sugar or sweetener of choice
  • 3/4 tsp agar agar powder

Lemon Custard:

  • 240 ml | 1 cup plant milk - room temp (I used soy)
  • 75 g | 3 Tbsp coconut cream
  • 2 Tbsp sugar or sweetener of choice
  • 12 g | 1 Tbsp corn starch
  • 1/2 tsp agar agar powder
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1 Tbsp organic lemon zest
  • 60 ml | 1/4 cup lemon juice

Instructions

Crunchy Crust:

  • Preheat the oven to 175C/350F degrees.
  • In a food processor, finely ground the oats into a flour.
  • Add the almond flour, salt and sugar and pulse to combine.
  • Add the melted butter/oil and blend to combine.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the tart tin.
  • Bake for 14-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool down completely.

Raspberry Jelly:

  • In a small saucepan add raspberries, water, lemon juice and sugar. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes over medium-low heat until the berries are dissolved.
  • Remove from heat and pass the mixture through a sieve to remove any seed. You should end up with about 320g of raspberry syrup.
  • Let cool down to room temperature.
  • Add 1 tsp of agar agar powder, bring the mixture to a boil and simmer for another 5 minutes over low-medium heat.
  • Set aside for a couple of minutes, then spread over the crust and let set in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Lemon Custard:

  • Combine the milk, sweetener, and lemon zest in a large pot.
  • Sift in corn starch and agar powder.
  • Set over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, boil 5 minutes and then remove from the heat and whisk in the lemon juice, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Let cool 10 minutes.
  • Carefully pour the lemon cream over the raspberry jelly.
  • Cover and chill 3 hours or until set.
  • *Before serving, remove the tart from the pan and top with fresh berries.
