Recipe Card

For the Crust

ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups oats
  • 1 1/2 cups almond meal
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

For the Lemon Curd Filling

ingredients

  • 1 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup rice malt syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 2 lemons, zested
  • 2 cups coconut milk

Method

  • Step 1

    Make the crust. Preheat oven to 360F degrees and lightly grease a 10" round tart pan.

  • Step 2

    Add your oats to a high speed blender or food processor, and mix until it forms a flour.

  • Step 3

    Add almond meal, sugar and salt. Pulse a couple of times to combine them with the oat flour.

  • Step 4

    Add vegan butter by small spoonfuls, and pulse until it forms a dough. It should stay together if pressed between your fingers.

  • Step 5

    Press the dough into a tart pan. Using a fork, prink several times around the base of the tart shell. Bake for 12-14 minutes. It will still be lightly coloured. Let cool.

  • Step 1

    Make the lemon curd. Pour the lemon juice into a medium pot. Add cornstarch and whisk well to combine.

  • Step 2

    Turn the heat on low to medium. Add rice malt syrup, coconut oil and lemon zest. Stir frequently, making sure to scrape the bottom so it doesn't stick. (I like to use one of those heat resistant rubber spatulas). Once it starts to thicken, add the coconut milk. Stir frequently until it starts to thicken again and reaches a curd consistency.

  • Step 3

    Let cool slightly before pouring into the tart shell. Set for at least 2 1/2 - 3 hours. Leave overnight for a firmer texture as pictured. (If using the lemon curd as is, you can enjoy right away). Topped with strawberries and some melted rice malt syrup.
