Preparation
- Prepare gluten-free vegan shortcrust pastry. In a bowl, combine the rice flour with the almond flour, add a pinch of salt and add the carob seed flour. In the center, combine the coconut oil, the whole cane sugar (preferably finely chopped) and the coconut milk. Knead with your hands until you get a soft dough.
- Cover the pastry with cling film and let it rest for half an hour.
- Take back the dough, roll it out with a rolling pin to a thickness of a few millimeters.
- Brush 5 tart molds with a little oil and line them with the pastry.
- Cut squares of baking paper, place them on top of each shortcrust pastry boat and fill with dried legumes. Bake the shortcrust pastry shells in a hot oven, preheated to 180 ° C, for 15 minutes.
What are legumes used for?
The legumes are used to prevent the pastry from swelling during cooking: in this way, you will be able to obtain perfect chests of shortcrust pastry, ready to accommodate the filling.
The baking paper, placed between the pastry and the legumes, is used to avoid making the legumes stick to the dough.- Meanwhile, prepare the filling cream. In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk (or rice milk) and dissolve the rice starch (thickener). Sweeten with agave syrup and add a pinch of turmeric, then bring to a gentle boil. Season to taste with lemon juice and zest.
- Cover the vegan custard with a sheet of cling film: in this way, you will avoid the formation of the surface crust. Leave to cool completely.
- At this point, gently remove the pastry shells from the molds, fill with the cream and decorate with fresh blackberries. Finish with powdered sugar (preferably cane) and serve.
Alice's comment - PersonalCooker
Vegan and gluten-free, these tarts have nothing to envy to the traditional ones! Don't like blackberries? Then stuff the tarts with other fruit, such as raspberries, strawberries, kiwis or grapes! Another variant that I can suggest is to fill the pastry with chocolate cream instead!Nutritional values and Health Comment on the recipe
