Ingredients

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry - (check the ingredients to make sure it's both egg- and dairy-free)
  • 14 oz coconut cream - (14oz = 400mL)
  • 1/2 cup vegan cream cheese - SEE NOTES BELOW (or cashew butter or 1 cup cashews soaked in hot water for at least an hour, then drained)
  • 1/2 cup corn starch
  • 1/2 cups golden syrup - (or brown sugar)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF/180ºC.
  • Add the coconut cream, cream cheese, cornstarch, syrup (sugar), vanilla, and salt into a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Pour into a pot and bring to a simmer until it starts to thicken, whisking now and again.
  • Roll out the puff pastry and line the base of a pan with parchment paper, cut out the puff pastry according to the size of the tart tin (I used an 8 inch/20 cm one), line the pan with the puff pastry, and let it hang over slightly.
  • Pour in the milk tart filling and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. Bake until golden. Once baked, remove to cool.
  • Once cooled, sprinkle on cinnamon sugar and serve. Keep chilled for ultimate freshness.

Notes

  • Make sure you use a vegan cream cheese that is either soy- or nut-based. Some dairy-free cream cheeses that are oil based (mostly coconut oil based), don't preserve their texture while baking, which might not result in the desired recipe outcome.
