Tarte au Miel

Tarte au Miel is a delightful vegan adaptation of the traditional French honey tart, featuring a rich almond filling and a buttery crust made entirely from plant-based ingredients. This dessert captures the essence of French pastry with its sweet and nutty flavors, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

• Almond flour - 100 grams
• All-purpose flour - 50 grams
• Coconut oil - 40 grams, melted
• Maple syrup - 60 grams
• Almond milk - 3 tablespoons
• Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - a pinch
• Ground cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon
• Sliced almonds - 20 grams (for topping)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, all-purpose flour, and salt.
3. Add melted coconut oil, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
4. Press the dough into a 15 cm (6 inch) tart pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
5. Place the crust in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and let it cool slightly.
6. In another bowl, whisk together cornstarch, a pinch of salt, ground cinnamon, and remaining maple syrup until smooth.
7. Pour the mixture into the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the filling is set.
9. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before slicing and serving.
