Ingredients
Crust
- 50g quinoa flakes
- 1 cup almond meal
- 1/4 cup GF oat flour
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
Filling
- 1 can full fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tsp pure vanilla bean extract
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp agar agar powder
Preparation
Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F. Grease a tart pan and set aside.
In a bowl, combine quinoa flakes, oat flour, almond meal, coconut oil, and maple syrup to form a moist mixture that can be easily molded.
Firmly press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the tart tin.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
Transfer the crust to a wire rack and let it cool.
Pour the coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla bean extract into a medium pan.
Place the pan on the stove over low heat.
When the mixture becomes warm, add the cornstarch and agar-agar.
Stirring constantly, cook until the agar-agar is completely dissolved.
Allow the mixture to boil for 30 to 60 seconds.
Pour the mixture into the cooled tart crust.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set.
Top with fresh berries and serve.
