How to Make Raspberry Tart with Dairy-Free Crème Pâtissière
Don’t be afraid! This is a very simple dairy-free recipe!
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, melted coconut oil or dairy-free butter, maple syrup or agave syrup, and a pinch of salt for the tart crust. Mix until the ingredients are well combined, and the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the tart crust mixture into a 9-inch tart pan, ensuring an even layer on the bottom and up the sides. Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
- Bake the tart crust (using pie weights) in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until it turns golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
- While the tart crust is cooling, prepare the dairy-free crème pâtissière. In a saucepan, whisk together the dairy-free milk, granulated sugar, and cornstarch over medium heat. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil.
- In a separate bowl, whisk plant-based egg substitute until smooth. Slowly add a small amount of the hot milk mixture to the egg yolks while whisking continuously to temper them.
- Gradually pour the tempered egg yolks back into the saucepan with the milk mixture, stirring constantly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the creme patisserie thickens to a custard-like consistency.
- Remove the creme patisserie from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool slightly.
- Once the tart crust and creme patisserie have cooled, spread the crème pâtissière evenly over the tart crust.
- Arrange the fresh raspberries on top of the creme patisserie in a decorative pattern.
- If desired, garnish the tart with fresh mint leaves and a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch of elegance.
- Refrigerate the Raspberry Tart with Dairy-Free Crème Pâtissière for at least 1-2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Slice and serve the Raspberry Tart with Dairy-Free Crème Pâtissière, and enjoy this delightful and dairy-free dessert that will impress all your guests!
Raspberry Tart with Dairy-Free Crème Pâtissière Variations
This recipe is so versatile and here are some suggestions for variations.
- Mixed Berry Tart – Instead of using only raspberries, create a mixed berry tart by combining raspberries with other berries like blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries. The medley of flavors and colors will make a stunning and irresistible dessert.
- Lemon-Infused Creme Patissiere – Add a zesty twist to the creme patissiere by infusing it with lemon zest or a splash of lemon juice. The bright citrus flavor pairs beautifully with the sweet-tart raspberries.
- Chocolate Drizzle – Drizzle dairy-free melted chocolate over the tart before serving for an indulgent touch. The combination of chocolate and raspberries is a classic pairing that everyone will adore.
- Coconut Cream Topping –Top the creme patissiere with a layer of dairy-free coconut whipped cream for an extra layer of creaminess and coconut flavor that complements the raspberries perfectly.
- Nutty Crust – Experiment with different nut flours for the tart crust, such as hazelnut or pecan flour. The nutty flavors will add depth to the dessert and complement the fruity filling.
- Mini Tartlets – Instead of making a single large tart, create individual mini tartlets using a muffin tin. It makes for an adorable and convenient serving size for parties or gatherings.
- Almond or Coconut Extract – Enhance the flavor of the creme patissiere by adding a hint of almond or coconut extract. These extracts will bring out the nutty and tropical notes in the dessert.
- Raspberry Coulis – Drizzle a vibrant and tangy raspberry coulis over the tart before serving for an extra burst of raspberry goodness.
- Gluten-Free Crust – For those with gluten sensitivities, experiment with gluten-free crust alternatives like a combination of gluten-free oats and almond flour or a store-bought gluten-free crust.
- Fresh Mint Syrup – Infuse some fresh mint leaves into a simple syrup and drizzle it over the raspberries for a refreshing herbal touch.
