Cover this with clingfilm again and place back in the fridge for 20 minutes. Poke a few holes in the crust with a fork to prevent bubbles when baking. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut away any excess dough so you’re left with a clean 1.5 inch deep crust base.
Gently push it down into all of the corners and use your thumbs to press the dough against the walls of the dish. Once the pastry is thin enough, flop the pastry over the rolling pin and place it into your pie dish or flan tin. This way the whole pastry should be one even layer. The best way to roll it out is to roll across the whole disk with the rolling pin and then rotate it 45° and roll again once. If it is cracking too quickly it may be too cold – wait 3-5 minutes for it to soften slightly. Try to avoid causing large cracks in the pastry. Take the pastry out of the fridge and start beating it with the rolling pin to loosen it up. Meanwhile, flour a clean surface with flour and get your rolling pin ready! Wrap the pastry in clingfilm or foil and chill for 30 minutes. Chunks will stick the whisk but persevere through the exercise and with some elbow grease you’ll eventually get there!Īdd the ice cold water and vinegar to the mixture and mix together with a wooden spoon until the mixture is completely homogenous and comes together in ball. Do not take too long as we don’t want the butter to melt into the flour. Using a cold metal whisk, mix together the butter and flour until it resembles bread crumbs. Sieve together the flour, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl. Vegan Pate Sucrée (Sweet Shortcrust) tutorial:

Now onto the full vegan frangipane tart recipe!! My go-to quality vegan butter is the “vegan block” by Naturli (based in the UK) that I would thoroughly recommend for desserts and bakes where the quality of the butter is important! They key to a good vegan frangipane tart is not overcooking those poached pears so lean on the side of cautious when poaching! If you can’t find cornstarch you can also use arrowroot starch. This ingredient is super important to this recipe so make sure you buy cornstarch and not corn flour or corn meal or any other variant. The main thickening agent of this recipe is the cornstarch (or cornflour in the UK). Let’s talk about the filling!! Most of the ingredients are self-explanatory but I’ll discuss a few of the key ones. If you’re trying to save time there are plenty of shop-bought crusts available (at least in the UK/Europe), such as this Jus-rol short crust pastry that is naturally vegan! Alternatively you could try any other simpler crust recipe found online but just remember that the pie has to be baked for an extra 30 minutes with the filling inside so “raw” or crumbly crusts won’t work.

It’s a little bit of fuss but I wanted the crust to be as indistinguishable from a non-vegan crust as possible and to be comparable to a quality pastry shop pie. This is my go-to flaky crust recipe for most pies, tarts, etc.! The vinegar is there for that extra level of flakiness as it will evaporate in the oven and leave you with a delicate, buttery crumb.

In this recipe I’ve done a really simple poached pear but feel free to get crazy with it! Add some spices, wine, or anything else you want to zhuzh up this delicious tart. While not traditional, I added a bit of almond extract and a splash of amaretto, as they amp up the flavor of the almonds and give the cream the distinctive flavor most people associate with almond desserts.Facebook Tweet Pin Vegan frangipane – who would have thought?! This simple vegan frangipane tart is a perfect, plant-based twist on the classic but without all the dairy and eggs!
I also love the brown flecks it adds, which remind me of almond creams I tried in Paris while at cooking school, which were made with un-skinned almonds and boasted a robust, toasty flavor. I’ve developed a vegan version that takes advantage of the nutty flavor of flaxseed meal to replace the egg while enhancing the nuttiness of the almonds. It is a classic filling most famously used to make twice-baked almond croissants, as well as a variety of French tarts, cakes, and breads. Frangipane is a delightful almond cream traditionally made with equal parts butter, sugar, egg, and almond flour.
