Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 cups Pecan halves
- 0.75 cup Coconut cream
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with coconut oil.
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, and almond milk. Mix until the dough comes together.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared tart pan. Prick the base with a fork and chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut cream, brown sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Whisk consistently until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the ground cinnamon.
Arrange the pecan halves in the chilled crust in an even layer.
Pour the filling mixture over the pecans, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden.
Let the tart cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Serve the tart as is, or with a scoop of vegan ice cream for a delightful dessert.
