Tarte au Sureau

Tarte au Sureau is a delightful vegan tart featuring a delicate elderflower filling encased in a buttery crust. This light and fragrant dessert captures the essence of French patisserie while being completely plant-based.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 100 grams
• Coconut oil - 50 grams, solid
• Maple syrup - 30 grams
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cold water - 2 tablespoons
• Elderflower cordial - 100 ml
• Almond milk - 100 ml
• Cornstarch - 15 grams
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the solid coconut oil and maple syrup, then mix until crumbly.
3. Gradually add cold water, mixing until a dough forms. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
4. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a tart pan. Transfer the dough to the pan, trimming any excess, and prick the bottom with a fork.
5. Blind bake the crust for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
6. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine elderflower cordial, almond milk, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
7. Pour the elderflower filling into the cooled tart crust and smooth the top.
8. Bake the tart for an additional 10-15 minutes until set. Allow to cool before serving.
