Vegan Rustic Raspberry Tart

I have mixed feelings about Valentine's Day. On one hand, I think it's frivolous to say this one day is for showing love to another person (shouldn't we do that every day?), and I despise how commercial it is. But, on the other hand, I think it is good to take time to pause and reflect on our relationships and maybe having a holiday to do so is a necessary reminder for some of us. And I can't deny that I will always welcome an excuse to bake a special treat. So, in honor of love, I give you this rustic raspberry-love tart.

Ingredients

  • Crust
  • 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour
  • 6 Tablespoons raw coconut oil or palm oil
  • 3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon rapadura whole cane sugar
  • ice water
  • Filling
  • 3 cups frozen raspberries
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup rapadura
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 Tablespoon arrowroot powder
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon soy milk rice milk or nut milk for brushing crust
  • 2 Tablespoons of rapadura for sprinkling on top.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425ºF.

Make Crust:

  • Whisk flours and rapadura together. Cut oils into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it forms pea-sized crumbles. Add ice water 1 Tablespoon at a time stirring with a fork until it starts to come together into a ball. The total amount of water added varies every time depending on the humidity in the air-it may be 4 Tablespoons or it may be 8 Tablespoons. Just be sure to add it 1 Tablespoon at a time.
  • Form dough into a ball and cover in plastic wrap. There's no need to refrigerate this dough. Roll it out on a well-floured work surface into a roughly-shaped circle about 1/4" thick.
  • Roll your dough up onto the rolling pin and then unroll it into your baking dish. I used a 9" round dish. A pie plate would work fine.

Make Filling:

  • Mix frozen berries, maple syrup, rapadura, lemon juice, arrowroot, and vanilla together with a large spoon. Reserve the fresh berries for now.

Assemble Tart:

  • Pour filling into the prepared dough and fold the overhanging edges of the dough in towards the center. Rustic edges are a good thing. Add the fresh berries to the center of the tart.
  • Brush the crust with soy milk and sprinkle the rapadura over the crust and fresh berries.
  • Place the tart on a foil-lined baking sheet to catch any juice that bubbles over. Bake at 425ºF for 35-45 minutes or until crust is golden brown and juice is bubbling.
  • When done remove from oven and allow to cool on a rack for 30 minutes.
  • Cut and serve warm with your favorite vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!!!
