Discover creative and delicious options for the classic vegan lemon tart! With no-bake versions and fruity touches, this dessert combines flavor and versatility. Let’s explore some ideas and recipes for your inspiration!
Tips for a Crispy and Delicious Crust
If you expect a crispy crust and creamy filling from a vegan lemon tart, choose almond flour or a mix of oats. Also, pre-bake the crust before adding the filling. This keeps the crust crispy and prevents it from absorbing moisture from the filling.
Vegan Lemon Tart Recipe (Classic)
Ingredients for the Base:
- 1 ½ cups almond flour or oats
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave
- A pinch of salt
Ingredients for the Filling:
- 1 cup coconut milk
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice
- ⅓ cup demerara sugar or natural sweetener
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
First, preheat your oven to 350°F. Next, mix all the base ingredients until it forms a smooth dough. Then, press the dough into a baking pan, covering the bottom and edges evenly. Bake for 10 minutes and let it cool. For the filling, heat the ingredients in a saucepan, stirring constantly until thickened. Let it cool slightly, pour it over the crust, and refrigerate for 2–3 hours. Garnish with lemon zest before serving.
