Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 can coconut cream, chilled
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust by combining almond flour, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients form a cohesive, slightly crumbly texture.
- Press the crust mixture firmly into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, ensuring an even layer across the bottom and up the sides. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to compact the crust.
- Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill and set for approximately 15 minutes while you prepare the filling.
- Open the chilled can of coconut cream and scoop out the solid white cream from the top, leaving behind any liquid. Place the cream in a mixing bowl.
- Add fresh lemon juice and lemon zest to the coconut cream. Whip the mixture using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the chilled crust from the refrigerator and pour the lemon coconut cream filling evenly over the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Arrange the mixed berries decoratively on top of the cream filling, gently pressing them slightly into the surface.
- Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours or until the filling is completely set and firm.
- Before serving, let the tart sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Slice and serve chilled.
Tips
- Chill is Key: Ensure your coconut cream is thoroughly chilled before whipping to achieve the perfect creamy consistency.
- Crust Compression: When pressing the crust into the pan, use the back of a measuring cup or a smooth-bottomed glass to create an even, compact layer.
- Berry Placement: For a professional look, arrange berries in a circular pattern or create a beautiful gradient effect with different colored berries.
- Patience Pays Off: Allow the full 2-hour chilling time to ensure the filling sets properly and develops the best texture.
- Room Temperature Serving: Let the tart sit for 5-10 minutes before serving to soften slightly and enhance the flavors.
- Make Ahead Friendly: This tart can be prepared up to 2 days in advance, making it perfect for entertaining.
