Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 480 ml Almond milk
- 120 ml Coconut cream
- 100 g White sugar
- 45 g Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 9-inch Pre-made dairy-free pie crust
- 0.5 teaspoon Additional ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Blind bake the pre-made pie crust according to package instructions to ensure it is firm before adding the filling. Let it cool.
In a medium saucepan, combine the almond milk and coconut cream. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is warm, but do not bring it to a boil.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
Slowly add the sugar mixture into the heated milk mixture, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously until it thickens to a custard-like consistency. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Once thickened, remove the custard from the heat and pour it into the pre-baked pie crust.
Smooth the top with a spatula and allow the tart to cool to room temperature.
Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Before serving, sprinkle additional ground cinnamon evenly over the top of the tart.
Slice and enjoy your dairy-free milk tart.
