Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add coconut oil and use your fingers to crumb the mixture until it resembles coarse sand.
Stir in the maple syrup and mix until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions, and press each portion evenly into the base and sides of a tartlet tin to form a crust.
Prick the base of each crust with a fork and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
For the custard, combine almond milk and cornstarch in a saucepan, whisking until smooth. Add the sugar and agar agar powder.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and just begins to boil. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the custard evenly into the cooled tartlet crusts.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set the custard.
Top the tartlets with an array of sliced fresh fruits just before serving.
These tartlets are best enjoyed within a day to ensure the fruits remain fresh.
