Gluten-Free Fruit tartlet with vegan custard cream

A gluten-free and healthy twist on the classic fruit tartlet. This versatile dough recipe can also be used in various other desserts, while the vegan pastry cream adds a soft, custard-like texture perfect for fillings, cakes, or puddings.

 

 

Ingredients

For the crust:

- 100g oat flour
- 120g almond flour
- 40g grated coconut
- 60 ml melted coconut oil
- 30 ml agave syrup
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- a pinch of pink or sea salt

For the "custard" cream:

- 1 ½ cup homemade coconut milk
- 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 45 ml agave syrup
- zest of half lemon
- a pinch of turmeric powder (just to add color, it will turn more yellow once the mixture gets warm)
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoons agar-agar

Cake topping:

- My favourites are kiwi, mango, pineapple and berries

Preparation

For the Crust:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a bowl, combine all the crust ingredients until a malleable mixture forms.
  3. Press the mixture into a tartlet mould using a spatula or your hands. Ensure the edges are no more than 5 mm thick to achieve a crispy crust.
  4. Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes until it attains a soft golden color. If it puffs up slightly, don't worry; it will settle as it cools.
  5. Let the crust cool before unmoulding.

For the Vegan Custard Cream:

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk, vanilla, lemon zest, agave, and turmeric powder. Heat the mixture over low heat.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder and agar-agar with 1⁄4 cup of the liquid from the saucepan until dissolved.
  3. Add the mixture to the saucepan and whisk well. Bring to a boil; the mixture will thicken. Stir for a few seconds, then remove from heat.
  4. Pour the custard cream into the cooled tartlet crusts.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the cream to set. It will firm up but remain creamy.

The Filling/Decoration:

Once the cream has set and cooled, it's time to unleash your creativity and fill the tartlet.

  1. Begin by slicing your favourite fruits and commence decorating. If desired, drizzle a few drops of lemon juice over the fruit to prevent rapid oxidation.
  2. For an added layer of texture, consider garnishing with mint leaves, edible flowers, or freeze-dried fruits.

Store the tartlet in a refrigerated container with a lid to maintain freshness.

Enjoy :)
