Egg tarts
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups plain flour
- 150g vegan butter
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp coconut milk powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp evaporated coconut milk
- 3 ½ tbsp vegan-friendly custard powder
- 2 ¼ cups unsweetened soy milk
- ¾ cup evaporated coconut milk
- ½ cup sugar
- ¾ tsp agar powder
- Pinch of black salt
- Pinch of turmeric
Steps
- Use a pastry brush to liberally grease your small tart tins with melted butter.
- Place all ingredients from flour to evaporated coconut milk to a food processor and pulse until just combined.
- Place dough in an airtight container and chill it in the fridge for about 1 hour.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pastry to about 5 mm thick.
- Using a cookie cutter slightly larger than your tart tins, cut rounds out from the pastry.
- Transfer the pastry rounds to your tart tins and press the pastry against the bottom and sides. Patch up any holes.
- To prepare for blind baking, place similar or smaller sized tart or cupcake tins on top. Chill the pastry shells in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the shells for around 15 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden brown.
- In a small bowl, combine the custard powder and a few tablespoons of soy milk until there are no lumps.
- Add all the custard ingredients to a medium-size saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Whisk consistently while the custard heats up. Gently boil the custard for about 3-5 minutes then remove from the heat.
- Sieve the custard if there are any lumps.
- Pour the custard into each tart shell. Allow to sit for 5 minutes then transfer them to the fridge for 1-2 hours or until set.
