Description
Delicious Vegan Jam Tarts: Quick, Easy, and Totally Irresistible
Ingredients
Scale
- 150 g Fresh or Frozen Raspberries (Substitute with strawberries or any fruit of your choice.)
- 100 g Granulated Sugar (Can use powdered sugar or alternative sweeteners.)
- 60 g Water (Add more if the mixture is too thick.)
- 14 g Cornstarch (For a healthier option, replace with 2 tsp chia seeds.)
- 220 g All-Purpose Flour (Can substitute with gluten-free flour.)
- 125 g Vegan Block Butter (Substitute with vegan margarine or softened coconut oil.)
- 35 g Powdered Sugar (Can replace with granulated sugar if needed.)
- 45 g Cold Water (Adjust for the perfect dough consistency.)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine fresh or frozen raspberries, granulated sugar, water, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat while mashing the berries until the mixture thickens. Set aside to cool completely.
- In a bowl, blend all-purpose flour, vegan butter, powdered sugar, and cold water until a soft, pliable dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add more water slowly, or if it’s too sticky, incorporate additional flour.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to about 5mm thickness. Cut out circles for your tart shells, then gently press them into greased tart pans.
- Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the cooled jam into each pastry shell, filling them generously but leaving a small gap at the edge.
- Place the tart pans in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the tarts to cool in their pans for a few minutes before carefully removing them.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
Notes
- Store tarts in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Experiment with different fruit jams for varied flavors.
