To make the pastry, combine the all-purpose flour and solid coconut oil in a medium bowl.
Using your fingers, rub the coconut oil into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Add the iced water slowly, mixing until the dough can be brought together. You may not need all the water.
Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200Β°C (390Β°F).
Roll out the chilled dough to about 3mm thick on a lightly floured surface.
Using a round cutter, cut circles and press them into a muffin tin to form tart shells.
In a saucepan, combine sugar and 150ml water, heating gently until the sugar has dissolved. Set aside to cool.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and gradually add in the cooled sugar water, coconut milk, and vanilla extract to create the filling.
Strain the filling mixture through a sieve to ensure it is smooth and free of lumps.
Pour the filling into the prepared tart shells, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
Allow to cool before serving. Enjoy your Dairy-Free Classic Egg Tarts!
